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

Your assumptions are correct - that is what I am trying to do

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.

I had the same problem. It turned out to be the permissions on the file
I was trying to copy. My software share has gone through many
permissions changes from being on domain then to workgroup etc. I used
ERD and reset permissions to FULL Control for Everyone and was able to
copy the files without issue. I noticed this because on my main
computer (Windows XP) that I was copying files from to my Vista
Ultimate, I wasn't able to open a few files, and I didn't get any error
message that seemed relevant. But after resetting permissions,
everything worked.
