Changing folder/file permissions using the cmd line

[\@@bogus\]

Hi,

Is there an equivalent of CACLS that has extended options. I need to apply
very detailed permissions on some folders.... like preventing users from
creating folders, but in the same time be able to create files...things like
that.

I don't see anything similar to that in the CACLs help. It is very general.

Thanks
Please post only.

Hi

I don't know for sure, but SetACL.exe might help you here (it is the
utility with most option that I have seen regarding ACL settings):

SetACL.exe (freeware) at
http://setacl.sourceforge.net/

SetACL can set permissions on:

Local or remote directories
Local or remote files
Local or remote printers
Local or remote registry keys
Local or remote Win32 services
Local or remote network shares
