Block file or folder from deletion

[btk]

I am researching but I am not able to find a solution to lock file or folder on the command line against exclusion.

Suggestions?

Use attrib and hide it, delete and then remove the hidden attribute again.

It does depend on the method of deletion you are using - say Robocopy with the /mir switch won't respect this.

It is possible by command line, change file permissions?
For this is the way I wanted to do.

Yes, you can use the icacls command. http://ss64.com/nt/icacls.html

Sometimes people ask a question and say what they want to do.

This was not one of those days.

The only caveat to this command is that it does not work on FAT-based file systems (FAT, FAT32, etc) since they do not store any ACL info.
