'posix:permissions' not supported as initial attribute
Asked on November 28, 2013
Hi All,
I am using Files.createDirectories as
FileAttribute<Set<PosixFilePermission>> fileAttributes = PosixFilePermissions.asFileAttribute(perms);
Files.createDirectories(path,fileAttributes);
But got below error.

Hi Anil,
The error you have mentioned comes when PosixFilePermission is run on windows OS.
Windows does not support PosixFilePermission.
