I'm experiencing a problem with copying files from the Finder in
OS 10.4.3 to drop box-type folders on a Windows 2003 server. When
you try to copy, you get an error: "The operation cannot be
completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some
of the items." After you click OK, you discover that the file is
actually created on the destination, but it's 0 bytes. If you copy
using 'cp' in Terminal, or copy from a Windows XP Pro client,
everything works as expected.
The permissions on the folder give the user all 4 "write"
capabilities that the advanced permissions configuration offers,
but nothing else.
Some additional permissions info about the destination folder:
using Windows' effective permissions inspector for this user, I
discovered that it has all permissions except:
Full Control (obviously)
both Delete permissions
Change Permissions
Take Ownership
Ok, this is getting ridiculous. My apologies: I have never run a
Windows server, and I'm not the administrator of this one. :-)
I noticed one more thing. The various write-related permissions are
set to inherit to all children, but the read-related ones only
inherit to sub-folders. This is, obviously, what creates the "drop
box" effect.
So it appears that the Finder, after creating the file, is attempting
to read it or read some of its attributes before actually writing the
data. This operation is denied, so it stops. The 'cp' command, on the
other hand, doesn't bother with these extra steps and works fine.
Are there any workarounds besides changing the permissions on the
server?
Thanks a lot,
Matt
