PMFJI,

Do you know if this will work from a windows PC to a file residing on a Linux server?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin

You can use WSH

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
oFile = oFSO.GetFile(lcfile) && lcfile is the name of the file
* Turn on the read-only bit
oFile.Attributes = BITOR(oFile.Attributes, 0x01)
* Turn off the read-only bit
oFile.Attributes = BITAND(oFile.Attributes, 0xFE)
