You can setup auditing for files and folders on NTFS partitions to track security breaches. To audit user access to files and folder, you must first set your audit policy to audit object access, wich include files and folders. Once you have set your audit policy to audit object access (remember the reboot...) you can enable auditing for specific files and folders and specify which types of access, by which users or groups, to audit.

When you copy files or folders from one folder to another folder, or from one volume to another volume, permissions change. When you copy a file within a single NTFS volume or between NTFS volumes

  • Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista treats it as a new file. As a new file, it takes on the permissions of the destination folder or volume.

  • You must have Write permission for the destination folder to copy files and folders.

  • You become the Creator Owner.

NOTE

When you copy files or folders to non-NTFS volumes, the folders and files lose their NTFS permissions because FAT volumes do not support NTFS permissions.

Moving Files and Folders

When you move a file or folder, permissions might or might not change, depending on where you move the file or folder. Moving files or folders between folders or volumes

Moving Within a Single NTFS Volume

When you move a file or folder within a single NTFS volume

  • The folder or file retains the original permissions.

  • You must have the Write permission for the destination folder to move files and folders into it.

  • You must have the Modify permission for the source folder or file. The Modify permission is required to move a folder or file because Windows 2000 deletes the folder or file from the source folder after it is copied to the destination folder.

  • You become the Creator Owner.

Moving Between NTFS Volumes

When you move a file or folder between NTFS volumes

  • The folder or file inherits the permissions of the destination folder.

  • You must have the Write permission for the destination folder to move files and folders into it.

  • You must have the Modify permission for the source folder or file. The Modify permission is required to move a folder or file because Windows 2000 deletes the folder or file from the source folder after it is copied to the destination folder.

  • You become the Creator Owner.

NOTE

When you move files or folders to FAT volumes, the folders and files lose their NTFS permissions because FAT volumes do not support NTFS permissions.
