When I move files from a private home directory (e.g. /home/jack) to a shared directory (e.g. /home/shared-school) Nautilus copies the file permissions from the original file into the shared directory - and ignores the ACL that I've put in the /home/shared-school directory (e.g. setfacl -R -m d:g:school:rwx /home/shared-school).

Is it possible to force Nautilus to change ACL on a file that is moved or copied - or not to ignore the ACL on the directory where the files are moved or copied?

  • It seems that this is only a problem when you move a file - it's the same with the mv command.

We had the same problem and couldnt really find a way to fix this. So i wrote a small utility on my own to observe such folders and set the right permissions. See: https://hadler.me/python/linux-acl-observer/

It works very well for us, even for alot of files. If you want give it a try.
