THanks... Dan's initial message didin;t show p here but the quotes
here help...
Is there an answer to this?
Yes. Play with apple and apples, not apples and oranges.
Your item (a) is the key. You've used some (undisclosed, perhaps
Finder?) app to copy files from your Mac's HFS+ file system to a
cr*p MS file system - either NTFS or FAT (per the Storango's
doc). That's just not good. While the individual file's data
forks on that NAS may be intact, the file system you've created is
essentially corrupted - broken filenames, missing metadata etc.
joy...
This is further complicated because that NAS box doesn't support
Apple's native file sharing protocol, AFP. It only supports raw
ip (http and ftp) and MS things, like SMB. ... and you haven't
disclosed which method you're using.
Not even sure what those ARE (ignorance is not bliss, but better to
admit and learn)
What Dan said plus this: if you're using SMB on the G5 to connect
(and there really isn't any other option per their docs) SMB under
10.4 suxrox bigtime. If you can update that G5 to 10.5 it will be a
lot better.
is there a down-side to this OS upgrade?
THe few applications that were the rasons I had held this machine at
10.4.11 have finally moved up... I do have things like APPLE WORKS
still in use onit..
