MATLAB will not save any files after I have put up my Firewall. I have tried everything. I contacted MathWorks and they could not help me. I have homework due Friday and I need to know what I have to do to get Matlab to save files again. I have already tried taking down the firewall and that does not work. I have gone so far as uninstall Matlab then reinstall and the files would save, but as soon as my Firewall went back up the problem persisted. PLEASE HELP PLEASE!

What happens when you attempt to save files? And which directory are you attempting to save them in?

A Google search of "CS 1371" and "MATLAB" suggests you are at Georgia Tech. Can you use the technology support center there to help you?

Somehow you gained an Access Control List (ACL) on the directory. At the terminal window (as described above) cd to the directory you want to be able to save in to, and then command
chmod -a "group:everyone deny delete" .
where the period is part of the command. Then use
ls -led .
and see if any more entries show up. Once you get down to just something like
drwxr-xr-x 21 roberson staff 5406 13 Aug 00:07 .
with nothing like that "0: group:everyone deny delete" after that line, then all of the ACL have been removed.
It is plausible that your firewall is putting these kinds of ACLs in every time it is run, so you might end up having to do these kinds of commands again later, until you reconfigure the firewall.
