The files in ONE sub-folder seem to have had the permissions changed from Read/write to Read only during this copy process. NO OTHER file or folder has been affected. The source folder and files are Read/write. Can anyone explain why this might have happened? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
