Re: Help with drop boxes on Windows Server

I'm guessing you have your macs bound to AD. that said, there is a bug with the AD-plugin and connections to SMB shares on the windows servers. (search this list, or go to MacWindows to read up on the problem)

You shouldn't have to mess with file-level security, but the share-level security has to be set to full control.

Obviously, there are many reasons you won't like this...but until Apple fixes the AD plugin, you're kinda stuck withit.

Hi all,

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.

The other thing that's strange is that the Finder has no trouble creating .DS_Store files in the drop box folders, complete with data (i.e. greater than 0 bytes).

So it seems pretty clear that the Finder is attempting to do additional operations other than copying the raw data, and then giving up when it can't do them. Any ideas on a resolution? Changing permissions on the server is going to be the last alternative.

Thanks,
Matt
