This shouldn't be a UAC issue, particularly not if it persists even if you
turn off UAC. A couple of questions:
1. Which machine is the server and which is the client?
XP is the "Server", I allowed the entire C:\ drive to be shared so I can
move files onto the Vista ..
So I map a drive from the XP to Vista ie Z:\c is the mount point on Vista.
C:\ on XP
2. What is the physical path for the directory that you are copying into on
the machine acting as the server?
The physical path is c:\cygnetron\docs on XP on Vista it is c:\cygentron\docs
basicly just copying the entire directory contents
I use file explorer to copy the file via a file folder.
I can copied about 100,00 file in the move, but about 20 files did not copy,
some were .doc and some were .zip files. What is weird was some .doc files
were transfered and some .zip files were transfered. It was NOT a global
issue.
3. What is the ACL on the directory and on the share itself?
Ok, I'm new to Vista, but I think it is all allowed... Read/write etc.
I right clicked on the directory on the Vista c:\cygentron selected
properties and check security, all of the check boxes were checked...
I did a simple test, from XP via RDP, I copy the file to form
RedBoot_Users_Guide.doc to "Copy RedBoot_Users_Guide.doc " and that copies
file. I open the file via RedBoot_Users_Guide.doc Word 2003 on XP and edit
and resave. Still cannot copy from Vista.
4. What privilege level does the user account you use to establish the
connection with have?
It only has read, I only want to copy files....
5. Is this a domain environment, or are both machines stand-alone? stand-alone
6. You said other files copied fine into that share. There is no existing
file with the same name as the one you are failing on is there?
No there is not because it will not copy file, I'm just moving files....
Again, this is almost certainly not a UAC issue. The only impact UAC would
have on remote access is that non-domain admin accounts get a restricted
token when connecting from the network. However, if one file copies fine and
another does not there is something non-UAC related going on.
Ok agreed, but why are some files being filtered? how does it know to filter
files?
Attributes? Contents? Name?
I did another copy in another directory, about 200k files, and again only
about 5 out of the 200k files did not copy. some were doc and zip files....
