How to create a folder that has a sharing access to "everyone" using c++

Question

I need help on how to add "everyone" to the folder's share option property using c++.

this is my code on how to create new folder

#include <direct.h>
    int main()
    {
          mkdir("c:/scan");
          return 0;
    }

I still don't get windows 10. 20 years ago they were on Windows 98 and then suddenly a massive step backward. — user4581301, Aug 08 '19 at 03:48
Is [_chmod](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/chmod-wchmod?view=vs-2019) what you're looking for, or not exactly? — , Aug 08 '19 at 04:02

@Chipster i think _chmod is only for linux, need solution for windows — Dwi Novitasari, Aug 08 '19 at 04:09
@DwiNovitasari But the link I posted is on Microsoft's site. That usually means it should be available on Windows too. But I could be wrong here. — , Aug 08 '19 at 04:14

According to the documentation, following should create a directory, and set permissions to give all users access:

namespace fs = std::filesystem;
fs::create_directory(path);
fs::permissions(path, fs::perms::all);

i tried to run this #include #include #include #include namespace fs = std::filesystem; int main() { fs::create_directory("C:/newscan"); fs::permissions(path, fs::perms::all); } and got this following error 4 35 D:\kerja\Untitled2.cpp [Error] experimental/filesystem: No such file or directory – Dwi Novitasari Aug 08 '19 at 04:32

@DwiNovitasari make sure you have the compiler set to compile to the c++ 17 Standard revision. Exactly how you do this with your development tools should be documented by those development tools. – user4581301 Aug 08 '19 at 14:38
@DwiNovitasari Also note that the path needs to be the same for both calls. `fs::path dir = "C:/newscan"; fs::create_directory(dir); fs::permissions(dir, fs::perms::all);` – Ted Lyngmo Aug 08 '19 at 17:14
@TedLyngmo hello it gives me new error instead c:\mingw\mingw\include\c++\8.2.0\bits\fs_path.h|237|error: no match for 'operator!=' (operand types are 'std::filesystem::__cxx11::path' and 'std::filesystem::__cxx11::path')| – Dwi Novitasari Aug 09 '19 at 08:08
