Export acls

[Guest tom.doniphon]

Hello guys,

Could somebody tell me how to export the ntfs permissions (acl) of a folder

and to import them in another?

Many thanks in advance.

How can you import permissions for files that exist in the

source folder but not in the target folder?

 

Conversely: Where would you take the permissions from

if a file exists in the target folder but not in the source

folder?

 

Same questions for the folders themselves.

Thanks for your help. But i wonder: would there be some command or tool to

assign the permissions of a folder(source), without considering the files and

folders that it could contain, to other folder(target) and from this, without

considering the files and folders that it could contain, that spread down?

I beg you pardon for my insistence and thank you again.

Please spend a moment thinking about your request. Let's assume

you have this situation:

 

Source folder tree: C:\A\A1\A2\A3

Target folder tree: X:\B\B1\B2\B3

 

Where would you apply the permissions that exist in C:\A\A1?

To X:\B\B1? By what logic?

 

Your best bet might be to take the permissions that exist for

the folder C:\A and apply them to the folder ***tree*** X:\B.

I use SetAcl to dump out the permissions to a file.

 

SetAcl.exe -on "E:\SomeFolder" -ot "file" -lst "f:sddl;w:d,o;i:n;s:y" -

actn backup -rec yes -bckp "E-ntfs-acl.txt"

 

I then open the text file with notepad. Do a find and replace to

change the folder path from the old to the new folder. Then use SetAcl

to apply the permissions from the file.

 

SetAcl.exe -on "E:\AnotherFolder" -ot "file" -lst

"f:sddl;w:d,o;i:n;s:y" -actn restore -rec yes -bckp "E-ntfs-acl.txt"

 

Hope that helps,
