Folder Inheritance and Rights Issue with Remote Users

[Guest amdgamer18@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am currently running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with

SP2. I have a shared folder called FTP Files which is on the root of

the C: drive. I have set the folder to be shared, and have added users

and guests full control of the folder. I have also checked allow

inheritable permissions on that folder. Therefore any newly created

files or folders will get the permissions from FTP Files folder. This

configuration works perfectly when I am locally on the server and

create a folder or file. The permissions are set correctly. However,

when I access the folder via another computer on my LAN (set as a

mapped network drive) the permissions are not set when I create a new

folder. I have the rights to create the folder and put files into the

folder. However, when I look at the permissions, Users and Guests

aren't granted access to the newly created folder. I have to manually

give them rights or else I get Access Denied. How do I configure that

the permissions are set when another machine creates a file or folder?

Any ideas?

You need to post more detailed information. Running the following

commands from a Command Prompt would help:

 

cacls "c:\FTP Files" > c:\test.txt

md "c:\FTP Files\TestFolder"

cacls "c:\FTP Files\TestFolder" >> c:\test.txt

notepad c:\test.txt

Ok..I ran the following tests...here are the results:

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

cacls "c:\FTP Files" > c:\test.txt

 

c:\FTP Files BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F

CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

BUILTIN\Guests:(OI)(CI)F

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F

BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)F

BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)F

CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)R

BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(special access:)

 

FILE_APPEND_DATA

 

BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(special access:)

 

FILE_WRITE_DATA

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

md "c:\FTP Files\TestFolder"

 

Created the above folder without issue

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

cacls "c:\FTP Files\TestFolder" >> c:\test.txt

 

c:\FTP Files\TestFolder BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)F

CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)F

BUILTIN\Guests:(OI)(CI)F

I would clean up the permissions set for the group "Users"

for the folder "c:\FTP Files", by giving them full access and

removing the other entries.

 

I also note that the folder "TestFolder" has full access for

the group "Users", hence there should be no access problem

for that group.

 

Make sure to set the Share permissions to "Full Access"

for everyone.

Ok...I completely removed the permissions from the entire folder. I

then re-created the permissions as you said. That still didn't fix the

permissions and give rights to individual files. So...I clicked on

"Replace permissions entries on all child objects with entries shown

here that apply to child objects" and that check box added the missing

permissions. I will keep an eye on it.
