Try using Midnight Commander(command = mc),  Press F5 to copy the directory
and see to it that u check the option "Preserve Attributes"

Subject: [LIH]Copying files & Directories with permissions


Hello All,

I want to migrate data from exsisting server to a new server, How do I
preserve permissions after copying to what exsisted in the earlier setup.

I tried cp -p -r but it replaces ownership with the login id that is being
copied.

Any hints.

TIA
Manjunath H N
