Very strange... I really don't think I'm using files with any strange permissions, and certainly not ones that are locked. My last attempt, the one prompted by Patrick's recommendation, were two text files I had just created in BBEdit for the purposes of the test.
I tried it again, here are the steps: - in Terminal, went to ~/Desktop/ - mkdir A - mkdir B - cd A - vim test.txt - In vim, wrote a line, saved and exited - In Path Finder, copied the file from A to B - QS: navigated to text file in first panel, tabbed to second, selected Move, tabbed to third, navigated to B, hit return - Prompted to Replace already existing file, clicked Replace - Got the same error I got in the original email. I even went to Get Info on the file in B and changed the permission to that Everyone could Write to the file. Got the error again. I've attached the test.txt file. Am I missing something? Thanks for the help so far. — Sherif
