Guest klumpy Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 I have set up a directory structure for a project and set varying permissions for different subfolders. I would like to copy this directory structure for each new project I set up, and to have the permissions remain with the new copy. Simply "copy/paste""dragging and dropping" or ""dragging and dropping" the directory structure doesn't copy the permissions. Is there a way to easily copy these permissions?

You would have to use xcopy.exe from a Command Prompt. Here is an example: xcopy /s /e /t /o /y /c "d:\My Files\klumpy1" "d:\MyFiles\klumpy2\" This single line command will copy the whole folder structure from klumpy1 to klumpy2, including all permissions. The command can be automated by placing it inside a batch file and getting it to prompt you for a destination folder.
