Security SettingsHi Group,
I need to write an application to create a directory structure on a Windoze 2000 server. Creating the structure will not be a problem, but I will need to set different permissions for different directories. Can someone point me to an API that will solve this problem? I've done a google on it, but that has left me more confused. The originating OS will be XP using VB6. Thanks in advance for any insight. John S.

The originating OS will be XP using VB6. - Use SetACL command line tool, which is free and open source: http://setacl.sourceforge.net/ - Using the API: How to use low-level access control APIs from Visual Basic http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316440 You may also want to check this site, which is for VB6 and lower despite the site's name: http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/network/index.html

Actually, this will eliminate a whole lot of coding, and not require any maintenance. BTW, if anyone is interested, CopyFolder works fine with XP, but is hanging/crashing on my VISTA machine. It'll be interesting to see how it behaves with Windoze Server 2000. John |
