Copying/moving files from a Samba share

[Joe Tseng]

I just recently discovered that I'm unable to copy or move files from my 
Samba server to my WinXP box, but I am able to do everything else (read, 
create, edit and delete files, copy between directories on the Samba share, 
and copy/move from WinXP to the share).  I wouldn't know where to start 
looking on how to fix this - has anyone seen this before?

/var/log/samba/log.${client_name} is a good place to start

Try bumping the log level in /etc/samba/smb.conf if you come up short. 
You have my personal promise that Samba debugging will give you no 
shortage of log files to review.

So, if I understand correctly, the only thing that doesn't work is when the
destination is the XP system.  My first thought is that it indicates an
issue on the destination side.  So, I suppose I would check the log on the
XP system first.  Are you doing the transfers as a "normal" user or
Administrator?

Crap...  I discovered this by accident...  I was able to do everything 
including what I couldn't do before as soon as I turned off network file and 
folder sharing on the WinXP side.

Thx for the responses.

Sounds like possibly a permissions problem on the WinXP side.
You might check the logs on the WinXP side for permission
violations. I'm sorry I don't have any idea how to go about
that. I know practically nothing about Windows admin.
