Setting file/directory permissions

[MadBoy]

Is there a native AutoIt way to set file/directory permisions (adding ppl and modifying ntfs rights for file/directory)? Or the only way is to use extenal .exe's ? Maybe someone written udf for this?

Edit: nm, i just used cacls which is in windows xp but still it would be nice to see such feature built into autoit as native command.

I use SetACL.exe in my scripts for that purpose. It is much more powerful. By calling DLLs and COM interfaces, you might be able to do everything SetACLs does inside AutoIt, but for me it's not worth the massive effort. SetACL already does shares, file system, registry, printers, everything that has an ACL.

Or you can translate the MS XCACLS.Vbs scritp to AU3.

Or Run it as a Vbscript in AU3 if you don't want to translate it.

This does -> List/Change ACLS for files and directories

This script is part if the MS Resource Kits.
