Copying Files

When you copy files, other than for links, to other locations, the files adopt the file permissions set for the new location (the new folder). Therefore, you need not coordinate file permissions of copied files with file permissions of target locations.

  To copy files and paste them as files or shortcuts:

  1. Right-click a file name, and select Copy.

  2. Navigate to the location where you want to create a copy of the original file.

  3. Right-click the View Pane Browser tab selection frame and select an option:

    • Paste—Copies the original file

    • Paste Shortcut—Creates a reference to the location of the original file.

      Note:

      Files copied to other locations adopt the file permissions set for the new location. To control access to copied files, consider copying links, not files. You van grant unlimited access to links, while restricting access to their target files.
