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?

Are you copying the entire qtree, or specific files? If you are copying the entire qtree, it is likely that ndmpcopy copies the qtree security style as well, causing the problems you described .
