Question

Is there any way to set file ownership and permissions using Ant in Linux? I found the Ant chmod and chown tasks but they are only for Unix.
I’m trying to add a Debian installer through Ant and ant-deb-task and after moving all required files to a deploy directory, I need to set their ownership and permissions.

Answer 1

I do not have access to Ant on Linux currently (will do at home) but try to see if this works

<target name="chmod_task">
  <exec executable="chmod">
    <arg value="755"/>
    <arg value="/path/filename.ext"/>
  </exec>
</target>
