I have copied a big folder/file structure into the portals folder on one of my DNN 3.22 installations - this was from an old site that I've converted to DNN use.

It appears that I have to go into each folder individually and select "All Users" file permissions. This is a major PITA as there's literally tens of folders and pages and pages of files in each.  There must be an easier way to set permissions for a top-level directory and have it cascade down to everything below it?

2nd question; what does "Synchronize Database And File System" actually do (apart from time out)? I can't find any mention of it in the online help.

Thanks!
Tim

I did not try, but logic would suggest that if a user has rights on a parent folder, he automatically has rights on a child folder. Did you verify that it is not working like that?

Sync db and file system makes sure that all filenames are also in the db. The filenames in the db are used in the url control that you can find in a lot of modules...

Just out of curiosity, how many files did you copy to your portals directory. There are some problems if you have more than integer.maxvalue (2147483647) bytes, or 2 GB in your portal folder...

cheers,

erik
