setting file permissions

Fri, 2007-01-12 11:30 — Niek

I am looking for code which can set ntfs file-security on a file.

The application will work as follows,
- user requests a file
- an appserver which is running under a admin-account copies the file from a secure-folder to a shared folder.
- the appserver grants the user rights to the file, so he can access/delete it.

So how to grant the permission to the copied file?

setting file permissions

I can only assume that it involves the SetNamedSecurityInfo function in advapi32.dll. I don't have example code for it, a C++ example is here: here but it looks difficult to port to ABL. Perhaps just wrap it into a DLL of your own?
