NET COPY Gives Moved Files New Directory's Permissions (99453)






This article was previously published under Q99453

SUMMARY

If you are in File Manager and drag a Word or Excel file from one directory on a LAN Manager server to another directory on the server, the file does not inherit the permissions of the new directory. Dragging files is equivalent to doing a NET MOVE, which moves the old permissions along with the file.

To move a file and give it the permissions of its new directory, use the NET COPY command found on the File menu in File Manager.
