What is a good free utility to copy data from a windows server to another windows server?
I am familiar with robocopy but was wondering if there is a good free gui utility out there for copying data from one windows server disk to another and also it keep the security rights in tact?

Does free commander keep the rights in tact when copying?
I think it inherits the rights of the destination folder, but it probably also depends on how the settings of that folder are (inheritable or not).
I use SyncBack Pro. This is not free but is very inexpensive. It is all GUI, fast, and preserves files properly. Once done, subsequent runs are incremental and synchronize. I use this all the time and it is many times worth the small price.
Richcopy is also a good option
It allows most of the same options of robocopy.

Personally I use FreeCommander, which is a 2 paned Windows Explorer type of utility, when copying files and doing other tasks on files or directories:
