Question

{
  char foldername[15];
  printf("Enter the foldername");
  scanf("%s", foldername);
  char command[100];
  sprintf(command, "cacls %s /e /p everyone:n",foldername);
  system(command);
  return 0;
}

This is the code, i want to manually input the location of the folder , but i don’t know how .

Answer 1

Here you can increase array size

char foldername[100];

and can give full path of folder.

Currently your giving foldername as “stackoverflow_example“

then you can give as

/home/user/projects/stackoverflow_example

it will work

AS YOUR comment:

it works ! but for code to work , i need the executable file at the 
target folder directory, but i need to simply execute the code 
from anywhere in computer to any folder in computer, by manually 
giving location as input. 

Now you can execute the code from anywhere in computer if you give full path.
