Re: Give explicit permissions to fileserver

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

AFAIK you have three options:
a) Shorten the path.
b) Create an artificial mount point with subst.exe.
c) Create an artificial mount point with a share.

I know about this specific limitation of the operating system.
We talk about 300 users using this fileserver. I cannot control how each
one
saves his files. I am looking for a way to overcome my problem, by finding
a
gui program similar to cacls that has the capability of skipping or
excluding this files.

This is not a limitation of cacls.exe but a limitation of
the operating system. You should put your information
into your files, not into the path or the file name.

Some commands will continue in spite of an error when
you specify /c. However, I suspect that cacls.exe will
halt regardless when it finds such a file.

It's a very useful command for bulk changes to a large amount of files
and
folders.
A big problem that i have, is that the command stops to run when it
find
files and folders with path larger than 255 characters. It would be
nice
if
it continue in such errors. I have hundreds of files that exceeds the
maximum path limit or filename, and i have to shorten the path and run
the
command from the beggining.

Hi,

I have a fileserver with many folders and subfolders on it,created
by
various users that have configure various permissions.
I need to put 2 users that will have access to ALL the folders, but
i
don't
want to reset or remove any other permissions.
Is there a way to accomplish that?



You can launch "My Computer" and use the GUI under
the Security tab to do it or else you can run this command
from the Command Prompt:

cacls "d:\Shares" /e /t /g User1:F user2:F

Run cacls /? if unsure what the switches mean.
