- Subject: copying from desktop to server changes group and permissions
Hello,
when I copy a file from my desktop to the location on our server, it
changes permissions and group from root to Domain Users
> ls -l tree.eps
-rw------- 1 977315 root 69488 2010-06-06 21:02 tree.eps
/home/The-Works/invention-disclosures+patents/1590--networked-shh-channels
> ls -l /z/tmp/tree.eps
-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 977315 Domain Users 69488 2010-08-13 14:12 /z/tmp/tree.eps*

I cannot use chmod or chown to modify either the group or the
permissions. I think that affects the behavior of tar and cpio as
well.
I tried reading the security part of the manual
(http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html), but my eyes soon lost
focus. Is that where the answer lies?
Thanks,
Mirko
