[Samba] Re: Migrating files with ACLS and Share properties

[Fabian Arrotin]

Usually i use robocopy from the Microsoft Resource Kit.
robocopy.exe can save ntfs security permissions and applied them to 
Samba (if you use acls on Linux of course ...)
example : robocopy \\source\share \\samba\share /MIR /SEC
