I drag it over then drop it into the laptop folder and get a "file is in use" message. I tried running zip on the laptop and zipping up the PDF's onto a zipfile on the laptop and got a 'cannot open' message for each file.
I can zip 'em up on the desktop then drag and drop the zipfile from the desktop to the laptop (from the laptop's Powerdesk file manager). I can drag and drop any other filetype while on the laptop from the desktop to the laptop through the network...so it's probably NOT permissions, right? I was just asking on the off chance that someone else has run into this problem.
