SyncToy 1.4: "Error: Access denied.Copying f:filefromstick..

Actually, I'm finding that when I use explorer to drag from stick to
d-drive, the permissions of the destination file end up as read-only.
It is not read-only on at the source (the stick). Wonder why that
would be....

Have you tried using Windows Explorer to copy the file to the same
destination. If so do you get the same error or similar error message?

Well, I used Cygwin's Bash to recursively copy my whole file tree
(without duplicating permissions). This seemed to solve the problem.
Thanks anyway!
