Folder rights not transfering into FTP folders

[Toby Shirk]

OK, the way we have our FTP setup is a bunch of folders
setup of different user access. Each folder has one user
account setup that can access it and they can see the
other folders just not able to gain access into every
folder...

Internall we create new folder within these folders which
receive the main folder access just fine. But when we
copy files into the that new folder some files gain these
rights and some do not... anyone got any ideas?

That's not the way permissions work so you are making some
mistake or misunderstanding the results.

When you COPY a file, you create a new file (the copy) and
the permissions (not rights) are derived (inherited) from the
parent directory in which the new file is created. That's just
the way it works.

When you MOVE a file (and it's only really a move if it's the
same VOLUME, otherwise it is a Copy then a Delete of the
original) it retains the original file permissions because it STILL
IS the original file.
