On a user's Windows NT workstation, there is both a FAT
partition and an NTFS partition. A file on the NTFS
partition has a long name, and NTFS permissions are set to
restrict access to certain users. This file is copied to
the FAT partition.

What happenssn to the file ?

a. The file loses the long name, but it keeps the
permissions.

b. The file keeps the long name, but the permissions are
lost.

c. The file loses both the long name and the permissions.

d. The file keeps both the long name and the permissions.

e. The file cannot be copied to a FAT partition.

Which is hopefully clear since FAT has supported long filenames since
Windows 95, and FAT has never had access control lists.

Copy tools generally assume the user's intention is correct - there may be a
warning depending on several factors, but the copy will happen.
