AFP sharing weirdness…

So maybe I am just missing something but I was under the impression that when a user copies a file from a AFP server share to their desktop or local drive, the permissions of the file/folder the user downloads get the owner/group settings of the folder the user is downloading to? Example: Client machine User: clientUser Group: staff Downloads a folder from an AFP share folder: TestFolder Owner: ServerAdmin - R/W Group: Admin - R Everyone - R Target folder on the client machine Folder: TargetFolder Owner: clientUser - R/W Group: staff - R Everyone - R Shouldn't the permissions on the TestFolder after download be: Owner: clientUser - R/W Group: staff - R Everyone - R If so, I have something going wrong on my AFP server... When my client users download a file from the server to a location on their machine that match the situation I described above, they get only read access for Owner Group and Everyone? If I am just being dense and missing something, could someone please explain it to me? I dont' have ACL's for any of my shares. Running OS X Server 10.4.6 and Client 10.4.6 Thanks in advance for any help... haxie
