Copying and Moving Encrypted Files

Several different situations are listed below in terms of the final state of an encrypted file that is moved or copied to another location.

From one NTFS partition to another NTFS partition on the same computer:

• Move the file as normal, it will remain encrypted.

From an NTFS partition to a FAT partition (includes floppy disks):

• Copy the file as normal, it will not be encrypted.
• Move the file as normal, it will not be encrypted.
