Question

A user needs to copy a file from an ntfs partition to a fat32 partition. the file has ntfs permissions and the read-only (r) and encryption attributes. which of the following will be true when the file is copied?

A. only the ntfs permissions are retained on the file.
B. all the attributes and ntfs permissions are retained on the file.
C. none of the ntfs permissions or attributes are retained on the file.
D. only the r attribute is retained on the file.
E. only the r and encryption attributes are retained on the file.

Answer 1

The correct answer is E. Only the R (read-only) and encryption attributes are retained on the file.

Step-by-step explanation:

When copying a file from an NTFS to a FAT32 partition, NTFS permissions and encryption are not retained due to FAT32's lack of support for these features. Only the basic read-only attribute is retained.

When you copy a file from an NTFS partition to a FAT32 partition, the NTFS-specific permissions and encryption attributes will not be retained. This is due to the differences in the file systems: NTFS supports permissions and encryption natively, while FAT32 does not. Therefore, the correct answer is C. none of the NTFS permissions or attributes are retained on the file.

However, the read-only attribute (R) is a basic file attribute that both file systems understand and therefore it will be retained when you copy the file. This is in contrast with NTFS permissions and encryption which are not supported by the FAT32 file system and will be stripped during the copy process.

When copying a file from an NTFS partition to a FAT32 partition, certain attributes and permissions may be lost or retained, depending on the file system limitations. In this case, the correct answer is E. Only the R (read-only) and encryption attributes are retained on the file.
