Re^3: Perl Permissions by ww (Archbishop) on Dec 04, 2006 at 16:58 UTC
Chrism... I think you're missing the point: Windows does not support unix style permissions. It has its own scheme and quite different "system hooks.</" Hence, unless the docs for your W32 version of perl specifically say that `chmod` DWIMS on an IIS server, it's extremely UNLIKELY to do so. See: http://www.tnsites.com/support/s_CHMOD-tutorial.asp How to convert CHMOD Commands (Permission Codes) to Windows Permissions You cannot set CHMOD on a Windows 2003 server since that is a Unix/Linux server command function that does not work on Windows IIS5 servers.... Suggest you read the original (above), or, similarly, http://www.1planhost.com/support/s_CHMOD-tutorial.asp and many other ISP explanations (LIGHT APPEARS! ...perhaps even that provided by the relevant ISP?) Other, perhaps useful discussions appear at: http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man1/chmod.1.asp http://lists.evolt.org/archive/Week-of-Mon-20020930/123647.html "With command line access you can use attrib, but this won't allow you to add/change account/group access. ... You probably need to add read/write/modify access the IIS web server account to the target directory." http://www.opentechsupport.net/forums/archive/topic/22905-1.html (assume garish background, hurts the eyes, but ain't entirely useless. Hope this helps.	[reply]

I'm sure you're exactly right, as I NEVER work on MS :). I knew MS FS didn't support Unix style perms, but I had heard there were similar concepts in some MS filesystem(s).	[reply]
