Folder Action CHMOD?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I need a little help getting a folder action to change permissions on the added item.

Upon adding an item to a folder, I want to chmod the added item to 700.

Any ideas?

Thanks a heap.

This is easy to do with ‘do shell script’

However you should carefully consider the ramifications of this script. Anything dropped in this folder will be executable. You might also want to check the item type and only change files or folders as appropriate.
