Windows XP Hpme Folder Access Problem
I am having a client which is running a BSD server and all the PC's running
Windows XP Home. One notebook is synchronizing two folder with a third party application through a batch file. Synchronization is working no problem, if I create a folder on the server, then run the batch file I am having the new file/folder on the Notebook. However, if I try to access the folder it gives me the error ACCESS DENIED. All used to work fine until recently. I still can access all the other folders which were synchronized in the past, but all ner folders/files now I am getting the said error. I have booted in Safe Mode and changed the Security in the root and inherited the permission and applied it to the child objects. After I have done that, all the folders which weren't accessable are now accessable. However, if I boot normal these files are accessable but from this point on if I create a new folder on the server and synchronize again I am back to scretch one, Access denied on the newly created folder. I then can go to safe mode again do the proceedure as mentioned the I have access. But that can not be the point that I have to do this all the time and especially not my customer. Any idea were the problem lies that this only occurs on the new created folders Thank you in advance |

Windows XP Hpme Folder Access Problem
Dear Malke,
Thank you for your reply. I had this thought also but as the files are transfered correctly they are able to be accessed on the server and copied to the local PC. Also when I am on the network there is no problem to access the files. It is only when they synchronized to the D: Drive they the access is denied. Also I have asked the guy if there was anything changed and they decliened it. And frankly, I am very new in this company and I have no idea about UNIX. Any thoughts? Thanks once more.

Honestly, not without seeing the computers and the network. Something obviously changed. It's not uncommon for users to deny that or simply not know. If you don't know about Unix, then forgive me but you need to get the input of someone who does. You can't just look at the XP boxen here. Perhaps someone else will have some ideas for you. I'm sorry I was unable to help you. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

Dear Malke,
Thanks a lot. I agree with you regarding the users, I see that all the time.. Once more thanks for your input anyway "Somchai" wrote: I am having a client which is running a BSD server and all the PC's running Windows XP Home.

Windows XP Hpme Folder Access Problem
What are the rights and ownership shown when you first look at the copied
folders in Safe Mode? I agree with Malke re. needing to look at the UNIX side, but there might be a possible work around. You might try adding a line(s) like the following to the batch file after the copy operation. cacls "folderpath" /t /g Username:F I used the following in a batch file for a customer to address a slightly similar problem. CD \problem folder cacls ".\*.*" /t /g Everyone:F -- "Somchai" wrote in message ... I am having a client which is running a BSD server and all the PC's running Windows XP Home.
