Agree with Jeffers.
I believe there is a possibility of leveraging the "usermag.cfg" file to work around the user access rights mapping issues. The file copy is probably resulting in user access rights of nobody on the unix side which is probably no access on the unix qtree.
Have you tried that ?

In a nutshell no, the only file level copy you can perform on a filer's console is ndmpcopy. When you copy from a Unix to an NTFS qtree (or vice versa) all sorts of strange permission based problems occur as NTFS and Unix permissions are not interchangeable. Why do you need to copy between the 2 qtrees? I would personally set up a single Unix qtree and do some CIFS user and group mappings to allow windows (CIFS) access. It's easier to do it this way round I have found, but most importantly, STAY AWAY FROM MIXED QTREES.
I hope that helps,
Jeffers.

Hi, we are copying over just single files not the complete qtree. The UNIX secured QTREE is accessible until we copy over a single file from the the NFTS QTREE which result in permission denied. It should not copy the permissions when the destination is UNIX but this appears to be happening.
Is there anything else I can use apart from ndmpcopy to make the single file copy within the filer console?

If you are copying the entire qtree, it is likely that ndmpcopy copies the qtree security style as well, causing the problems you described . (and others as well )..

Hi Toasters,
I have setup 2 qtrees. QT1 is NTFS and QT2 is UNIX. File Data needs to
be
passed between the 2 QTREES in both directions which I am doing using ndmpcopy. However an unexpected consequence of this action is that the
UNIX
user account looses access to the UNIX QTREE after the copy if made from
QT1
to QT2. Does anyone know what could cause this and how I can get around
it?
Both QTREEs are in the same Volume but I would not expect this to be relevant.
thanks, Jimmy
