Nant and changing file properties (read-only to writable)

nant

As part of the Nant copy task, I would like to change the properties of the files in the target location. For instance make the files "read-write" from "read-only". How would I do this?

Best Answer

Use the <attrib> task. For example, to make the file "test.txt" read/write, you would use

<attrib file="test.txt" readonly="false"/>

R – Nant : change file permission

You need to run the CACLS program in windows to grant permissions to files and folders. From Nant, you can do this with the EXEC task.

Try a tag block like:

<exec program="cacls">
    <arg value="*" />
    <arg value="/G IIS_WPG:F" />
</exec>
