Creating/Copying SharePoint Folders with permissions

Dear Experts,

I need your help with the following:

I have a folder (let's call it "A") in a SharePoint document library that contains several subfolders. When I use the "Copy To" option to duplicate the folder, it successfully copies the structure but not the permissions (unique security settings) applied to the original folder and its subfolders.

Is there a way to copy or automate this process so that both the folder structure and the permissions are replicated?

Any suggestions, scripts, or tools to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!
