After finally figuring out why I couldn't copy a particular file from a folder on the network (a permissions issue bought about by how the file was copied/moved into the folder in the first place - whatever it was, the permissions for the file were different from others in the same folder) - it struck me how difficult it seems to be to set the permissions for a file to be the same as another one.
Is there a quick way of setting the permissions for file A to be the same as those of file B in the same folder?
icacls.exe
which isn't available for XP. The XP versioncacls.exe
doesn't seem to have the options to save and read the permissions from a text file.
