Folder permissions displayed incorrectly

Folder permissions displayed incorrectly   20 August 2014, 00:46

I am having a similar issue to this one, whereby it is displaying incorrect folder permissions. The icacls command works correctly, but the netscan application does not. This used to work great, but for some reason, no longer does on the network.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Please provide specific examples on what is displayed and what icacls shows.

Please see attachments for details. As you can see in the netscan image, the Salesforce folder is not showing any permissions (same as any other folder), the icacls is showing the correct groups & individuals. I have run netscan, both as myself (administrative group) and the administrator login, both results are the same.

This could be because as of version 5.5.5 the software computes the effective permissions, combining these on a shared folder with those stored in NTFS.

As far as I remember icacls shows the NTFS permissions. What about share-level permissions on that folder?

The NTFS permission are showing correctly, but the share-level permissions are not showing. How do we get the share-level permissions to display? Is there an option I am missing or ?

The network scanner displays the effective permissions. It does not show NTFS permissions or share-level permissions separately.
