How to set folder permissoins

[Joseph Bashir]

I have created a directory/folder as:

boolean success = (new File(path+dirname)).mkdir();

I want to set permissions for this directory as 777. How can I do that? Please help.

You can use runtime.exec()

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process proc = runtime.exec("chmod 777 filename");
 
try {
  if (proc.waitFor() == 0) {
     System.out.println("File Permission successfully set");
  }
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
  System.err.println(e);
}

Hope this helps.
