NT file permission

[NiravSir]

I have a question about this file permission.
my question is that assume that I have "xyz" named folder and this contains 100 more sub folder.
now this is the logic that "xyz" folder contains permission (is) same applicable to all subfolders by default.
but now I have to give more permission to some users and the main folder only then tell me what should I do ??


and the next question is is there any command or syntax to know the file-permission ...

mail me for the reply on "thirteenjuly@hotmail.com" or post it here...


Thanx

Is this on a Windows 98 or on a Windows NT? If it's NT, right click the main folder, select properties. Go to Security and click Permissions. Here you can see which users have access to the folder and what type of access they have.
To give users permissions on the main folder only, simply set your access level and make sure the box "apply to all sub-folders" (or whatever it's called on NT) is unchecked.
Hope this helps. In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?

Dear Tourist

I said about win-nt and I know how to set the permission.
but still u don't understand my problem

let me explain u again:
in xyz folder everybody has read rights and assume that there are 100 subfolders of xyz folder.
now i have to give full control to everybody in only 68 folders(which are in xyz folder). then it's not easy to give through manually or one by one folder.
do u know that any easy steps or batch files ???

if anybody knows then plz. let me know.

thanx
Nirav

Ok, now I understand what you're trying to do. I've had a look around on the net, but I came up empty handed.
One thing I can tell you is that you can select several folders at once to set NTFS permissions, assuming those folders exist on the same level of the tree. If you have folder "xyz" with subfolders "a", "b" and "c", you can select them all and set the permissions. But if folder "a" is a subfolder of "b", "b" a subfolder of "c" and "c" a subfolder of "xyz", you're out of luck.
I don't know of any other easy way to set permissions on multiple folders at once.

The one other thing that I have found is a tool to copy share permissions from one share to another, but I doubt that will do you any good. It's called Permcopy and you can find it in the NT resource kit. In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?

Check out thread96-247677

It looks like SHOWACLS in the Windows 2000 resource kit can show you the permissions on all folders.

Hope that helps
