Change of Permission

[slice]

I am not sure whether it is right to post this problem here or where?
I am running IIS and want to change permission of files on my pc in localhost.
But don't know how to do it?
Could you help me please ?
Thank You.

Right click the file, then properties, then go from there ? Or am i missing something ?

CHMOD won't work on a windows box i don't think...

Are you looking to lock down your system or increase the level of permission granted to the service?

Are you running a Unix OS or Windows?

I am running IIS

I would of thought that was at least Windows XP Pro

[dark_shadow]

well if it is xp ( provided its an ntfs drive) then would my previous suggestion of Cacls work?

FAT32 does not allow for permissions. You would have to convert the drive to NTFS.

If you have an NTFS file system and you right-click on the folder and select properties from the pop-up menu. You will see a tab labeled "Security" if you have IIS installed on the machine you will also get a tab labeled "Web Sharing".

A FAT32 file system does not offer these options.

You need XP Pro and above to get the "Security" tab, as well as IIS

Web Sharing only applies to the folder level. You can set security permissions on a per file basis or rethink your directory structure...

How per file basis ?

How per file basis ?

If you are running a FAT32 system... you can't. You have to convert your OS to NTFS.

If your file system is NTFS then right-click on the file and select properties from the pop-up menu and then the security tab.

You must have admin rights on the machine to set permissions.

you can also use the Cacls Command from Command Prompt

Download SFU. It's a collection of Unix tools writen on a low level of Windows and it's provided free from Microsoft. You can use CHMOD
