permissions reset to 000 when moving files on network drive

[captainhunt]

Hi,

we upgraded our filer recently, and since then I have issues when moving files from one directory on the filer to another directory on the same filer: permissions are reset to 000 meaning I cannot even read them anymore. So I have to go to the Unix side and reset them to 644...

I played along with copy methods in the TC configuration, but the only thing that helps is to set it to copy+paste via explorer, which is quite uncomfortable concerning followup popups ...

I'd really like to fix that. So what kind of special move method is used here, that could be a trouble maker, so I could give our IT a hint...

Thanks,
Gergoe

It means that your network drive is reporting itself as "NTFS", although it isn't. TC then tries to use the NTFS permission functions, which apparently doesn't work well with your network drive...

You can set
XPMoveMethod=0

in wincmd.ini under [Configuration] then TC will not touch the permissions when moving files. The downside is that files will just keep their permissions and not inherit the permissions of the target folder.
