How to know Access Permissions on a directory using Java

1 New Member
Does anyone know if there is a way to check the access
permissions of different users using Java? I need to know
if a user has full control or if they have read only
access or none to a certain directory. I have seen
different ways to set the permissions but none to read
them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

try this:

File fl = new File("Myfile");

fl.canRead(); //returns boolean
fl.canWrite(); //returns boolean

Hey Guys, Today we are going to look at Code Access Security. Code access security is a feature of .NET that manages code depending on its trust level. If the CLS trusts the code enough to allow it ro run then it will execute, the code execution depends on the permission provided to the assembly. If the code is not trusted wnough to run or it attempts to perform an action which doe not have the required permissions then its execution...

I am developing an ASP.NET web service application. It works fine on my WinXP Prof development machine. But when I send it to a Windows Server 2003 system I get the following error (attached below).

Is there a way, given the full path of a folder on a network, that one can programatically tell if you have Read access to that folder? I have an application where the user is able to select a number of search folders using the standard dialog control. There shouldn't be an issue with the search folder being on a local drive or a network drive. But if you don't have Read access to the folder, there's trouble. The user can see the...

I am getting a dreaded Access To Path <fileis denied in a C# program. I tried granting full access to ASPNET (local machine), the user running the program (a domain administrator) and continue to get the error everytime I attempt to access the file, create a new file or delete the file. I even attempted to set fileIOPermission to what I believe to be all access for the file and the directory with the same result. Any advise would be...

I have a php script that processes a form and then posts the user input to a data file on the server in a comma delimited format. For simplicity call the file "data.csv."

The big problem is that anyone can point their web browser to www.mywebsite.com/data/data.csv and see exactly what is contained in the data file. Obviously, I want the data in that file to...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
