If you can't do a chmod 755 XXX, then you canīt do this ... you don't have enough privileges... Do a su root (if you can), or ask the owner of the files to do the chmod ...
BTW, Chmod 755 isn't enough, I think you need a 777 ... (my chmod numbers are a little hazy) (is this an oracle related question???) Also, for further reading.... Man chmod Man RTM Man man ;) -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: viernes, 12 de septiembre de 2003 10:04 Para: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Asunto: How to give permission Hallo, anyone whom could help me with a unix command how to give permission to delete files from a special directory?
