OK, After reading here, I think I may have been a bit incoherent in
my frustration.
The situation I've got is this. I am migrating my files from my
windows laptop to my macbook across my network. My account on the
windows side has administrater privilages and it lets me read and
write the files without a problem.
Today I coppied over my website. My website is just over 400
megabytes in size. There are the html and php files that make up the
content of the site, and then there are data folders that contain jpeg
and gif images, as well as .txt and .doc files, along with the
ocasional zip archive that contains jpeg files. Things went well at
first. Until it got to just over 300 meg of the coppy. Then, smack
in the middle of coppying it throws up these errors. It's as if the
mac has decided that some jpeg images are worthy and others are not.
I tried rebooting.
I tried coppying starting from the folder where the copy left off, and
got the same thing. The system simpley deems these particular files
out of bounds for some reason.
Best,
Erik

All operating systems, including Windows, have some form of
permissions control for files. Without more information on your
exact setup, it is impossible to guess what the problem is exactly,
but it is probably that whatever user account you are using to copy
the files with, has not been given privileges high enough to allow
the copying of what Windows deems files of a sensitive nature.
Basically, it thinks that those files are a security risk if they're
copied, and won't let a user without proper authority copy them.
Try making sure that whatever user account you are using to copy the
files has been given admin permission on the Windows side.

Hi guys, what is this garbo? This afternoon I tried to transfer my
web site to my macbook from my windows laptop and got the following
error berried in an obscure object in the copy window.
"some of the items did not coppy. You do not have permition to
coppy all of the items." and an OK button. Actually there were
about three of these and I had to get rid of them one by one. So,
why do I have permition to copy some files, but not others of the
same types? More importantly, how much of the data I've backed up
hasn't gone through because it's decided to tell me what to do with
my own files? Even more important still, how do I make this
behavior stop?
Thanks,
Erik
