Set up folder permission in Windows with Ant
Hi,
I'm a new user of ant. I am trying to set up a folder and need to set up
certain permission on it (read, write and execute permission)Is it possible
to do with ant?
Any idea of how to do that. I have looked around the web with no luck.
Please help.
Regards,
Lawardy

1. this is the kind of question for the ant users list
2. Windows? it doesnt have that usable a permissions model. You need to
edit ACLs, which you can do by <exec>-ing CACLS:
>cacls /?
Displays or modifies access control lists (ACLs) of files
CACLS filename [/T] [/E] [/C] [/G user:perm] [/R user [...]]
[/P user:perm [...]] [/D user [...]]
filename Displays ACLs.
/T Changes ACLs of specified files in
the current directory and all subdirectories.
/E Edit ACL instead of replacing it.
/C Continue on access denied errors.
/G user:perm Grant specified user access rights.
Perm can be: R Read
W Write
C Change (write)
F Full control
/R user Revoke specified user's access rights (only valid with
/E).
/P user:perm Replace specified user's access rights.
Perm can be: N None
R Read
W Write
C Change (write)
F Full control
/D user Deny specified user access.
Wildcards can be used to specify more that one file in a command.
You can specify more than one user in a command.
Abbreviations:
CI - Container Inherit.
The ACE will be inherited by directories.
OI - Object Inherit.
The ACE will be inherited by files.
IO - Inherit Only.
The ACE does not apply to the current file/directory.
I would advise you avoid it unless you know what you are going. To
create zip/tar files with permissions, use <zipfileset> and <tarfileset>
filesets with explicitly listed permssions.
