when I am creating a directory with boost::filesystem::create_directory() the dir will be created, but the set permissions will not include 'executable' rights. Hance the application is not allowed to traverse into the dir it just created.

What is your umask? What version of Boost are you using? The following code works properly here as a naive implementation of the "mkdir" command with the latest version of CVS version of Boost: --- #include <boost/filesystem/operations.hpp> using namespace boost::filesystem; int main (int argc, char** argv) { for (int i = 1; i < argc; ++i) create_directory (argv[i]); } --- % ./mkdir aaa % ls -FldG aaa drwxrwxr-x 2 cepstein 4.0K Aug 3 11:10 aaa/ % umask 002 -- Caleb Epstein
