Can I have exectue files after code download via RTC?

I have some files in a repository, and I want them have execute authority directly when the code is loaded on a linux machine. And there should be no additional man-made action to chmod authority to these files. Can RTC achieve this?

Yes, when you check-in a file from linux, the execute bit is also stored with the file item. When you load the file on Linux, the execute bit will be set.

Hi Michael,

what happens in a heterogeneous environment? If I work with the files from Linux and Windows?

I am also concerning about this. Usually, we work with RTC client on windows, but build on linux machine.

Since there is no execute bit on Windows, there is no way to set it. This means that, in order to set the execute bit of a file, you would need to load it on Linux or some other platform that supports the concept. Having said that, you can still load such a file on windows but the execute bit will just be ignored. The good news is that once the execute bit is set, it will be preserved even if the file is edited on a Windows machine.
