Access denied trying to copy file across home network
I am trying to copy a file from an XP system to a Vista system and I'm
getting an error telling me I do not have permission to do it and access is denied to the destination system. Here is the setup: I have a home network. On the Vista system I use START RUN and type in the name of the XP system (ex: system1). Using Windows explorer on the Vista system I drag the file from the source directory on the XP system to the destination folder on the Vista system. That generates the error message. It does not tell me how to get the permission I need but since I am running as the Administrator on the Vista system I didn't think I would need permission. If I just copy the file to something like a USB drive and then plug the USB drive into the Vista system I can copy the file onto my hard drive with no problem. Any thoughts on how to correct this? |

Do you have File sharing and public folder sharing turn on in VISTA?

Hello,
Is this the situation you are encountering: - Attempting to copy a file from a network share to a specific folder results in access denied - Attempting to copy a file from any other source (such as a hard drive or USB drive) to the *same, specific location* works fine - You can verify that it is the same destination folder, the same file, and doing it from a network share doesn't work but any other way does - JB On Tue, 05 Jun 2007 20:15:30 -0400, Joe Ventre wrote: PaulB wrote: Do you have File sharing and public folder sharing turn on in VISTA? yes i do |

Access denied trying to copy file across home network
Well,
The good news is that I am aware of other people having this problem. The bad news, is I am not aware of the cause of or solution to this problem. Although I did hear that some people had success by disabling an antivirus program that lives on the computer you are trying to copy from. I would be interested in seeing the security settings that are being applied to the folder you are attempting to save to, the folder the file is comming from, and the source file itself. First, access the file share on the other computer from explorer and enter your password (if required) - this will establish a connection to the other computer and allow the following commands to work. Could you do the following: - Click start - Type: command prompt - Click on command prompt when it appears - cd to the folder that you are attempting to save the file to, and type: icacls . For example, if you are attempting to save to your desktop, type: cd %userprofile%\desktop icacls . Then, type the following commands: icacls \\computer\folder_containing_file icacls \\computer\folder_containing_file\file For example, if the file you are trying to copy is called info.dat, lives on a computer named JIMMY, and is located directly inside a share named FILES, you would type: icacls \\JIMMY\FILES icacls \\JIMMY\FILES\info.dat Then copy the output of these 3 commands into a reply. -- -JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support FAQ - http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |

I have found that I can copy some files but not all. When I followed your directions I was able to get output for the icacls . command and the icacls \\xxx\yyy command but when I tried to use icacls \\xxx\yyy\info.dat I get an error saying the system cannot find the file. This same error occurs when whether the file name I use is one I am able to copy or one I cam not able to copy. Here is the result of the 2 commands that did work: for icacls . .. xxx\home:IOICIF xxx\yyy:IOICIF BUILTIN\Administrators:IF BUILTIN\Administrators:IOICIIOF NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:IF NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:IOICIIOF BUILTIN\Users:IOICIRX NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:IM NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users:IOICIIOM for icacls \\xxx\yyy \\xxx\yyy Everyone:OICIRX BUILTIN\Administrators:IOICIF NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:IOICIF No mapping between accountnames and security IDs was done. IF CREATOR OWNER:IOICIIOF BUILTIN\Users:IOICIRX BUILTIN\Users:ICIAD BUILTIN\Users:ICIWD |

Hmm...
- Are there any characteristics that the files that won't let you copy them have in common? It is very strange that some files will let you copy them to a certain folder, while others won't to that same folder. It's also unusual that the icacls utility is not able to open files in that share. Are you running any security software on the machine that you are copying from? Have you tried temporarily disabling it and seeing if that helps? Do this: - Click start - Type: services - Press enter - Look for a service called "Network access protection agent" - Is it running? -- -JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support FAQ - http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |

Hi guys,
Also having the same problem. I checked "Network access protection agent" and it's not running. So far I have been able to copy mp3's, but not exe or jpg. Any more ideas?

Hello,
I made a program that might help diagnose the problem. If you could run the program and copy and paste the results into a response: http://www.jimmah.com/vista/downloads/copytest.zip -- -JB Microsoft MVP - Windows Shell/User Windows Vista Support FAQ - http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |
