Title: Permissions
Post by: stephen on May 19, 2004, 06:25:21 AM

I have mounted a VFAT Partition with no umask and i have transerred my old data to this new partition successfully.But i don't have any permission to change the permission of the Folders and Files.Is there any possiblity to solve the problem without data loss????

Use umask to change parititons for all files & folders together, fmask for files, dmask for directories. It is difficult to change the permissions of individual files (look into 'mattrib').
