I have a small set of files I develop on Windows but need to extract and run on Linux. One of those files is a script, StartApp.sh. I'm packaging the files as a zip archive, passing it to my admin, and asking him to manually set the execute attribute on StartApp.sh before running it.
Is there an archive tool (that runs on Windows) that I can set the "execute attribute" in the archive or zip file itself? (So when it is extracted on Linux the script will execute without manual steps.)
Answer
As far as I know, there is no such tool, unless you use Cygwin on Windows, a Linux-like environment for Windows.
Your other options are:
- Create an unpack script for your zip that will set the execute permission
- Use a version management system to transfer files, rather than zip
