Setting file permissions

[Rich Rekos]

Does anyone know how to set file permissions via asp.net? I have a page
that allows me to upload files, but I want to be able to set the
permissions on the file after I upload it. Any ideas? Thanks, Rich

There is no in-built support for access control entries in 1.x, I believe
it is there in 2.0. Until then you either have to do some messy pinvokes
to the Win32 API, or shell out to cacls.exe with the System.Diagnositcs.Process
class.

Hi Rich,

You'll want to investigate WMI. There's sample VB code here to give you an
idea:
