How can I change the file permissions in VOSS?

StephanH — Fri, 16 Oct 2020 02:53:41 GMT

Hello,

how can I change the file permissions in VOSS. I found the command “attribute” but it’s not clear for me if it the correct command and how I add or remove permissions for a file.

Any ideas?

Regards

Stephan

Hi Stefan,

I never played with but it gives some strange results

JOL-MON-LAN-CL1-2:1#ls VOSS7400.8.1.7.0.tgz Listing Directory /intflash: -rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 238749927 Sep 25 16:08 VOSS7400.8.1.7.0.tgz

JOL-MON-LAN-CL1-2:1#attribute VOSS7400.8.1.7.0.tgz +R JOL-MON-LAN-CL1-2:1#ls VOSS7400.8.1.7.0.tgz Listing Directory /intflash: -r-xr-xr-x 1 0 0 238749927 Sep 25 16:08 VOSS7400.8.1.7.0.tgz

JOL-MON-LAN-CL1-2:1#attribute VOSS7400.8.1.7.0.tgz -R JOL-MON-LAN-CL1-2:1#ls VOSS7400.8.1.7.0.tgz Listing Directory /intflash: -rwxrwxrwx 1 0 0 238749927 Sep 25 16:08 VOSS7400.8.1.7.0.tgz

Hi Mig,

strange but it is working.

I have always tried to put a space between R and the +, that does not work.

Why:

-R == read
and
+R == write

you do not have to understand but it works!

Thank you for the fast help.

Regards

Stephan
