Can files+folder inherit owner or only permissions?

[pstein]

Assume I have a file

D:\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd.txt

Can this file inherit its owner from the wrapping folder?

Can folder ccc inherit its owner from the parent folder bbb?

Or is inheritance only applicable to access permissions and not to ownership?

Ownership isn't inherited like file permissions. The owner is set to the user associated with the process that created the object, this is typically the logged in user.
