How to achieve the CACLS and ICACLS funtionality to non NTFS drives?
Hi Guys, I need to create a directory, which is not having the functionality of a normal one. I used the CACLS and ICACLS commands to make the directory as Secured and undeletable to others. It was worked successfully when the directory present in my system (NTFS). I created a directory in my USB drive, i used the same command, the out put is "The Cacls command can be run only on disk drives that use the NTFS file system." Is any command to achieve this concept when the directory was present in USB Drive. Thanks in Advance.

Hi, if your usb stick is formatted with fat or fat32 then it's not possible to configure the acls for folder/files on it. it's by design. acls are first supported by ntfs file system. regards, andreas
