Help !! NTFS Permissions on file being reset after save

[Clarence Worley]

I'm soory to post in this group, but in the Macromdeia Newsgroup I received
no answers. Maybe someone here might be able to help or redirect me to
another groups where i ca npost this item.

My problem:

I'm using dreamweaver MX in order to update some file on my
development web servers (Windows 2K + IIS 5) and everytime i update a
file (locally or remotely) the permissions are being reset and
inherited from the parent folder after saving the file. It does not
matter what i do , it keeps reseting the permissions. I also doulbe
checked to be sure that originally the inheritance from the parent
folder is disabled on the file.
I also have tried to edit some files locally on 2 different computer
using to different dreamweaver MX, and still it reset the NTFS
permission.
I tried using Windows XP or Windows 2000. Does nopt make difference.

Finally i tried to update the file using other application such as
Microsoft Frontpage or a normal Notepad and the permissions are NOT
being reset, so i assume that the problem comes from Dreamweaver MX.

Please help... this problem is driving me mad !

Thank you

Dreamweaver uses most likely this approach when dealing with
files:

1. You open xxx.yyy
2. You make some changes
3. You save & close the file
4. Dreamweaver writes your changes to zzz.yyy
5. Dreamweaver deletes xxx.yyy
6. Dreamweaver renames zzz.yyy to xxx.yyy

You are thus dealing with a new file, and the new file will
assume the NTFS permissions of the parent folder.

In general it is not a good idea to assign permissions to
specific files. Assign them to folders!

Thank you for your suggestion.
The problem is that the problem appearded only recently and it was working
fine this way before (different permissions on different files in same
folder).

I still can't understand why it is doing that.
