Help with cfdirectory permissions

Hi again.

my issue: when I create directory using cfdirectory tag it sets default 'read only' permission to it. then if i'm trying to access file (photo) and resize it using cfimage tag, it throws exeption and fails. I'm using windows vista (i know i know).

question: is there any way to set folder as NOT read only when creating or even afterwards, but using coldfusion obviously.

cheers,

Simon

    mode

    Optional

    Used with action = "create". Permissions. Applies only to UNIX and Linux. Octal values of chmod command. Assigned to owner, group, and other, respectively, for example:

    • 644: assigns read/write permission to owner; read permission to group and other.
    • 777: assigns read/write/execute permission to all.

    Thanks Lee, but that's why I stated using windows vista. These permissions works on Unix and Linux only.

    When creating a folder on Windows the permissions are inherited from

    the parent folder so my guess is that the parent folder doesn't have

    write permission.
