[comp.dcom.lans] Creating Sharable Files with Novell

gary@utgard.uucp (Gary Manning) (04/12/90)

Greetings,

I have a quick NetWare question.  Is it possible to change the default file
creation attribute from Nonshareable Read/Write to Shareable Read/Write.
Whenever I set up a new server I first copy the needed files, but then
I need to write a batch file to flag all of the files in each of the
directories of our application to change the status to "Shareable".

Am I missing something or being stupid?  I would like to have all of 
"normal" (nonsystem) files come up as shareable and let the application
program handle the file shareing.

BTW, I am using Advanced NetWare 2.15 if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance.

gary

The ncopy command has a parameter which preservers file attributes when
copying:  ncopy /p
