EFS file copy/move on Vista
Posted: 27 Nov 2007, 16:24
I use EFS encryption on my Vista box. When I want to copy an EFS file to a media, that cannot keep the file encrypted (network shares, FAT), the process stops with "Access Denied" error.
The reason for this is, that Vista enforces encryption for normal CopyFile operation and returns Access denied.
When I use Windows Explorer to copy the encrypted files, it asks me to allow the copy, correctly.
But Salám doesn't do it and just errors out.
