I got the bright idea of using Live Mesh to sync up my development directories between my laptop and desktop machines. It appears that the permission on any new files that are added through Live Mesh do not inherit permissions from the parent directory. Now I cannot overwrite the permissions on those files. I keep getting an "Access is Denied" error when attempting to do so, even if I am running Windows Explorer as administrator. I have two questions:

  1. How can I modify the file permissions to allow them to inherit again?

  2. Has anyone used Live Mesh to do this sort of thing? Or should I be using FolderShare instead?
