How to copy files from Unix to W2kserver and retain owner/permissions

[Cotton213]

I guess that's the question. I'm moving some files (Office files) from our IRIX server to our w2k server and I'd like to retain the permissions and owner/group. I know these aren't completely analogous between the two OS's, but if there is some way to come close I'd like to know.

Also, does anyone know of a good reference or web page on Unix/Windows interoperability? Our new Windows server wants to rule the world, and I could use some help keeping it reigned in

There is a M$ add-in called Windows SFU (Services For Unix), which included NFS, NIS compatibility, a telnet server & things like that. If you can find it, it is really cheap (~£200), but you may have to ask for it by part number cos last supplier I tried had never heard of it and it wasn't in the book either. But it's well worth it if you are going to try and get full integration between UNIX & W2K.

I tamed 2000 to the extent that we were using our NIS server to vaildate PC network logins and auto-mount unix file systems into Terminal Server sessions. (Aren't I just the bee's knees !). It can be done. Ian
