kashmiri Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi All,I am currently working in an MNC. We have a shared Drive where each department has its own public folders. The problem is that the administrator in our organisation will delete all files in all folders of that drive which have not been accessed for three months. Can someone help me by giving a way so that i can in one go chnage the access date of all files im my folder and subfolder so that they are not able to delete them. Or you can even show me a way as to who can help in this.I would really appreciate the help.kashmiri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kashmiri Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 @AlanHo We do not have that facility. I fact that space is allocated to us but it is administered by Global tech support tean and they have thi somehting running every wee, tha deletes our files that are 3 months or older.@Boris, you r right, i do not have the necessary permissions.All i want is that i should get a way to change the reference date of all the files. It could be a scipt or anything or anything else.I would really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Possibly Wget could achieve that for you. You could write a script that would have wget access all the files you want, then run it through the Windows scheduler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
