look at your smb.conf (located whereever you installed samba to on the HP system) if not sure do

find / -name "smb.conf" -print

this should find it for you, once you find it vi/cat/more the file (BUT DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE CHANGING)

my guess is that you will find a share called "scratch" that is being used for logging or such it should look something similiar to:

*[scratchdisk]*
*   comment = Scratchdisk*
*   path = /scratch*
*   read only = no *
*   public = yes*

if you wish email me your smb.conf file and I can tell you whats going on

On our HP-Ux UniVerse system, I am using Samba to copy files to a WinXP
machine via Windows Explorer.

It works ok except that it pops up a confirm dialog box asking... do I want
to overwrite a file in the SCRATCH folder.

The SCRATCH folder has perhaps 100 files that are named things like
        bruce17
        bruce18
        tom14
        ...
        etc

Answers would be appreciated.

When you are SURE that everything in your program is correct AND your program STILL DOES NOT work, one thing you can be sure of is that something you are sure of is wrong - unknown
