Hi

Can you seup NTFS file permissions on a shared folder on a FAT32 partition or does the partition have to be NTFS.

Thanks

You can only set NTFS access pertmissions on NTFS formatted volumes. The only security that can be applied to FAT32 volumes is share permissions.

A fat32 volume can easily be converted to NTFS by running
CONVERT x: /fs:ntfs
from the command prompt and then rebooting, but please take a backup first.
