No, I'm building a package builder and I want to copy files to
another part of the same filesystem or maybe to another partition. So
I really need to preserve the permissions.
I was playing with the permissions class and I guess I'm not sure
what is going on here ...
Dim f as folderitem
f = Specialfolder.Applications
Dim i As Integer
i = f.permissions
Msgbox str(i)
and I get back "509" it should be 775. What am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Charles

I'm writing an app that will copy files from one directory to

the permissions are not preserved. Is there some way to preserve
the permissions when issuing a CopyFileTo?
External hard drives do not have to use permissions (usually that
is best). Are you copying to an external device?
I haven't used it, but there is a new Permissions class in
REALbasic 2006... you might try that.
