Hi Pawan Kumar,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You can use robocopy to copy files and ntfs permissions according to your needs. Open cmd as an administrator and run the following command, replacing the bold parts with the source and destination addresses of the file respectively:

robocopy <source path> <destination path> /Copyall /E /dcopy:T /b /R:3 /W:1 /Log:C:\robocopy-log.txt /tee

I hope the information above is helpful.

Best regards
