The attributes you mention, read-only, archive, hidden, and system, are unique to DOS and Windows environments. There is no equivalent in *NIX environments. How this is handled is dependant on the mechanism Windows & *NIX systems (the IFS is a *NIX equivalent file system) use to communicate. For example, when using Samba, the DOS attributes are mapped thus: owner group world RWX RWX RWX Owner RW = read-only Owner X = Archive? Group X = System? World X = Hidden? R = read, W = write, X = execute (source: <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch05_03.html>) Why do you need to manipulate these? Is it to maintain Windows compatibility?

Just like the DOS ATTRIB command or the Qp0lSetAttr API let you do. And I need to be able to do this in a batch job (not thru Client Access or Operations Navigator). Dave
