Access Control Entries (ACEs) of a file in the user's home directory will be lost if the file is modified using vim
. In addition, the newly created file using the cp
command won't keep the ACEs of the original file. There are two workarounds:
1. Set the file to inherit the ACEs from the parent folder
2. Use the following commands to preserve its ACEs, where file.txt
is the file with ACEs:
vim "+set backupcopy=yes" file.txt
cp --preserve=all file.txt file-new.txt
