Hi Erik,

You said: 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.

TK: It sounds to me like it's a permission problem that originates from the Windows box. Something in the folder has security that only affects network access. Because you are the Administrator on the local Windows box, you won't notice this issue. I would check the permissions on the parent directory of your web-site folder, then migrate those permissions down to the child objects. This should ensure that all items within the parent directory have the same access privileges. This must be done from your Windows box.

HTH.

Later...
