Setting a file private.

I am trying to set some files private through a script. the command I use is : $iwhome\\bin\\iwprv -s "."$filepath";
this command is not able to set the file Private. However if a file is private, the command
$iwhome\\bin\\iwprv -g "."$filepath"; is able to get the correct status. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong in setting the private bit???

The Private symbol does not appear in front of it.

Hi,

Just reset your teamsite services using "iwreset -a" and then you should be able to the see the file to be a private file.

I hope it helps.

After setting the file private - did you do a Refresh in the GUI?
Are you working in WebDesk or WebDeskPro?
For that matter, what version of TeamSite are you on?
(I'm assuming that the missing open-double-quotes in your two examples of running iwprv is just in the post)

Here is a "wild stab in the dark" that might be helpful.
Have you ruled out a permissions problem?
It may be that the user the script is run as has read, but not write access on that path? Hence being able to check the private status, but not set it.
Do you check if the command results in an error message?

Thanks! It was just a refresh problem. It was setting the fiile to private.
