To remove just the ReadOnly attribute, you’d do something like this: File.SetAttributes(“C:\\myfile.txt”, File.GetAttributes(“C:\\myfile.txt”) & ~FileAttributes.ReadOnly); This will remove the ReadOnly attribute, but preserve any other attributes that already exist on the file.

Here is a function which reads all file attributes as a dictionary: import win32api #============================================================================== def getFileProperties(fname): #============================================================================== “”” Read all properties of the given file return them as a dictionary. “”” propNames = (‘Comments’, ‘InternalName’, ‘ProductName’, ‘CompanyName’, ‘LegalCopyright’, ‘ProductVersion’, ‘FileDescription’, ‘LegalTrademarks’, ‘PrivateBuild’, ‘FileVersion’, ‘OriginalFilename’, ‘SpecialBuild’) props = {‘FixedFileInfo’: None, ‘StringFileInfo’: None, ‘FileVersion’: None} try: … Read more
From info coreutils ‘ls invocation’ | grep -1 ‘[.+]. character’ under Linux GNU `ls’ uses a `.’ character to indicate a file with an SELinux security context, but no other alternate access method. A file with any other combination of alternate access methods is marked with a `+’ character.
Two ways: System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(filePath); fileInfo.IsReadOnly = true/false; or // Careful! This will clear other file flags e.g. `FileAttributes.Hidden` File.SetAttributes(filePath, FileAttributes.ReadOnly/FileAttributes.Normal); The IsReadOnly property on FileInfo essentially does the bit-flipping you would have to do manually in the second method.
Answering on your question in title regarding ReadOnly attribute: FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(pathToAFile); fileInfo.IsReadOnly = false; To get control over any attribute yourself you can use File.SetAttributes() method. The link also provides an example.
