Re: File Copy

Can you create/move any files to that location on the destination machine?
The transfer over the network shouldn't make a difference if the issue is
with the destination permissions.

If it were set up to allow remote users to modify the files I could probably
change the source file. I think I can read the source file OK.

my error is a lack of permissions on the target directory. (or does Vista
check some source acl/permissions in order to allow the target directory
write?)

[the source directory sharing attributes, does not permit any remote user
from modifying it's files.

Thansk for the help

Those files from the other computer are owned by the prvious user (maybe
you)
but to have full access to them on Vista, you much take ownership of them.

To take full ownership:
1. Right click file, select properties.
2. Hit security tab, select advanced
3. Click owner tab, the hit edit (accept the UAC pop-up box)
4. Select your username, click OK, accept the pop up box, then OK out of
all
dialogue boxes

This is my first Vista computer. It may be that I don't understand
something
very basic. it may be RTFM.
It is very frustrating.

I open up two windows explorer windows. I found files from one of my
other
machines (XP Media Server, host name:Stafford) and
tried to copy files from Stafford to my local directory Downloads. It
wouldn't do so. The popup window tells me "You need permission to perform
this action" and "Destination Folder Access Denied"

What kind of 'stuff/crap' is going on? Why don't I have permissions/acl
to
copy files to either an existing directory or a newly created directory?
(and yes I do have Administrative privileges although that shouldn't be
an
issue on "My Documents". i do like the name change from "My Documents")

How does the permissions for Vista differ from XP on local files for
Writing?
