Hi All, Sorry if i post off topic here. I want to create copy of a directory (exists on my machine ) in remote machine with same file mode, owner and group. For this i am creating directory with USERID&0777 (for same source directory permissions) permissions on remote machine. And after that, i am changing owner and group using chown(const char *path, uid_t owner, gid_t group) function. Chown fails and returning error:-45, which is file locked error. Am i doing anything wrong here. Please provide some pointers on this issue. Thanks & Regards, - Apparao. Mr.Rao This was discussed in one of the sessions by Mr.Saifi (during backup/restore session). Instead creating the directory , Probably u can go with archiving/unarchiving with tar -p , which archives the directory / file/folder/filesystem with preserving the rights.. plz correct me if i am wrong thanks mahen
