Hi Gordon, The only thing that springs to mind is that flash drives are usually formatted with some version of FAT file system, which doesn't support permissions. But apart from that, I can't think of anything

The files in ONE sub-folder seem to have had the permissions changed from Read/write to Read only during this copy process. NO OTHER file or folder has been affected. The source folder and files are Read/write. Can anyone explain why this might have happened? -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/ -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
