Import NTFS Permissions to ServerSync
When you initially import files into a FileCloud site, CodeLathe recommends that you also import existing NTFS permissions on files and folders.
During permissions sync, the user name and group names specified in the NTFS permissions must exactly match the names in the FileCloud site.
To import permissions:
3. On the Import Permissions screen, after Remote Folder, click Select.
4. In the browser window, select the server folder whose permissions you want to sync, and then click Select.
5. On the Import Permissions screen, after Local Folder, click Select.
6. In the browser window, select the server folder with the local copies whose permissions you want to match with what is on the server, and then click Select.
7. On the Import Permissions screen, click Import.
