Transfer File Ownership using xcacls?

[Guest]

I need to transfer ownership on some files, from the administrator, to a
particular user.

I think that I can give the user the right to take ownership, using this:

xcacls " path & filename" /G user:O;T (if I have it right!)

Anyway, as I said, what I really need to to do is transfer the ownership to
the user, not enable him or her to take ownership. Can anyone tell me how to
do this?

use 'subinacl'

Also, although cacls/xcacls is not the tool for you to use this time,
when you do use remember that very often, as with examply you
posted, you should be certain to remember to include /e switch

In addition to subinacl I really like fileacl. It is a free download and can
grant ownership and do a WHOLE lot more. As with any of these powerful tools
that can alter permissions/ownership try them out on a test computer and
have a full backup of the computer you are going to use them on just in
case. The link below is to fileacl and it's syntax. --- Steve

To GRANT the ownership you need (if my memory serves me right)
* full control permission on the file or dir
* user right "restore files and directories"
