FreeFileSync Global Settings choice

Epsilon · 10. Jan 2012, 05:22 AM

One of the Global Setting in FreeFileSync 4.6 is " Copy NTFS Permissions". Can someone advise me if and why it'is a good idea to place a tick in that option or if and why it's preferable to leave it un-ticked.

I don't know what NTFS permssions are so please be gentle.

Thanks.

NTFS permissions are different permissions given to files and folders, like read, write, execute etc..

You can see more here :

If you feel you need these permissions copied over, then you can select the option.
