Copy shares to new server and retain permissions

I have a some old network shares that I need to relocate to a new server.

How do I copy the content to the new location whilst retaining all of the permissions of the source?

Preferably with a free solution. I used to use Robocopy in years gone by, but not sure if this is still current.

Thanks for that. Re your 1st comment, isn't that only for moving to a new folder on the same server?

I ended up using Robocopy. This was the quickest and cheapest solution. All I needed to do was ensure the share folders were setup and permissions assigned prior to running robocopy.

You were all correct, however I went with the solution I found. Thanks for all of the responses.
