Permissions not transferred when copying data from Windows Mount Points

Post by *mcairns22 »

Hi All,
I have just had an occurrence where I am wanting to copy all data and directories below a windows mount point to another server with an identical mount point setup.
Copying the data is fine, but the permissions are not transferring (even though I am requesting to do so)
I have used Total Commander for nearly 20 years, and had great success.
This is the 1st time I have tried using it in this scenario.
I have had to revert to clunky RoboCopy.
Could this be investigated, as this is a real trap?

That would be very difficult to analyze and correct. The problem is probably that the files don't actually have permissions, but just inherit them somehow from a parent folder. But I don't know why this would be different when using a mount point.
