I am trying to set mode of a file which has symlink, when i am setting the mode as ‘0777’ it is setting mode even for source file.
I tried using ‘manage_symlink_source’ attribute, when i set it to false i am getting exception. Is there any other way to handle this.
What you describe sounds like standard Linux behavior.
The permissions on symbolic links are basically always ignored; pretty much all permissions operation on the symlink are passed on to the destination.
