Robocopy only new files windows#
When files are moved from one location to another on the same volume/partition using Windows explorer or the move.exe command they will retain their permissions and ownership.When files are copied through Windows explorer or via the copy.exe command they will always take on the permissions of their new location, and the user account that performed the copy will become the owner.The key elements of this equation are whether the file/folder was “copied” or “moved”, and whether the files/folders where copied/moved within a volume/partition or between volumes/partitions.
To the untrained eye it may seem mysterious as to why sometimes files and folder retain their permissions and ownership after being copied or moved, and sometimes they do not. With the NT file system (NTFS) on Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista we have the ability to set security permissions on individual files and folders, and track the creator of a file or folder through ownership. In this article we’ll examine those rules and take a look at a Windows Resource Kit utility that is absolutely essential when you find yourself moving files around between servers and volumes. There is a somewhat complex set of rules that determine when file permissions and ownership are copied to a new location. Ever tried copying or moving files from one file server to another? If so, you probably noticed that the permissions and ownership of files didn’t carry over to the new server.
Copying files in Windows may not be as simple as you think.
