Hi All,
I think there are two solutions

1.
Buy or use the trial (140MB download) of Windows Services for UNIX
version 3.0 from Microsoft.

2.
Use a FTP Client (with command line interface) that supports the chmod
command. I know that LeechFTP and WS_FTP supporting chmod, but I
don't know if they support a command line interface.

I run VEE on both UNIX and Windows. I need to change the permissions on a UNIX directory. From UNIX it's easy: chmod 777 dir_name. How does one do it in Windows through VEE? (The UNIX file system is accessed through SAMBA, so it looks like a Windows file system from Windows).
Thank you,
Paul Chandler

You COULD use an Execute Program object that calls a batch file that uses
the Attrib command....

Egads! Ok, the attrib stuff is ok if all you need to do is toggle a
read-only attribute on and off. The attrib command however is nothing like
as powerful as chmod. If you're looking to set execute permission or group
permissions or something like that, I'd almost say it's impossible except
for the fact that I've had to eat those words a couple times.

And that's only if you're talking about changing a Windows file system. If
you want to change a UNIX file system from Windows, I haven't the foggiest
idea. I think I'd set up a little socket server on the HP-UX/VEE side and
watch for commands from the Windows/VEE side. These commands would tell the
server to issue the appropriate chmod command

Windows security is a hairy beast that's best avoided at all costs (IMHO).

The equivalent in DOS is the ATTRIB command.

ACL's don't exist in unix so there's not direct comparison with "777"
but it will be pretty close.

ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:] [path] filename]
       [/S [/D]]

+   Sets an attribute.
-   Clears an attribute.
R   Read-only file attribute.
A   Archive file attribute.
S   System file attribute.
H   Hidden file attribute.
/S Processes matching files in the current folder
      and all subfolders.
/D Processes folders as well.

regards
