FAR doesn't talk directly to file system, but via Wine. It can not see the difference between regular file symlink, hardlink, pipe, character device.

I'd like to see you set 04755 permission on a file or 01777 on a directory.

Wine doesn't read system users and groups. Without it you can't set correct ownership. But even aside from that, try setting a file owner to a specific UID or group to some GID.

Windows' symlinks have nothing to do with *NIX symlinks. Don't mix the two.

What Wine can't FAR can't. And trust me, Wine can't do and won't do lots of things. As an example Wine won't show you symlinks if they point to a parent directory...


The whole reason I'm trying to tell you not to use FAR for system administration, or file operations because you will break your system. Regular shell will be better then FAR.
