EFS - move command and Ctrl+X+V

[Vinayagar Karpagam]

Hi,

I am moving some files from an unencrypted folder to an EFS encrypted folder. The files are automatically encrypted in the destination when I do a ctrl+x+v, but when I use the move command via command prompt the files stay unencrypted in the destination.

How do I ensure that the files are encrypted automatically even if I use the move command?

D:\VK1>cipher /S:.

Listing D:\VK1\
New files added to this directory will not be encrypted.


D:\VK1>echo test > test.txt

D:\VK1>cd ..\VK2

D:\VK2>cipher /S:.

Listing D:\VK2\
New files added to this directory will be encrypted.


D:\VK2>move D:\VK1\test.txt .
1 file(s) moved.

D:\VK2>cipher /S:.

Listing D:\VK2\
New files added to this directory will be encrypted.

U test.txt

D:\VK2>


Thanks.

Regards,

Vinayagar
