Recently I have re-installed WinXP in one of my client machines on the network. The thing is, on the Server (Win2000 Server) I had a folder with backup files that (I think) was initially created by that same client prior the re-installation. My problem is, I cannot copy the backup files from the server back to my WinXP client machine. All the permissions are set, User is correct, the group fine and still It says that I do not have access to copy files. I have a Workgroup not a Domain. What else is there to be done? Thanks a lot"!

Try recreating the user / client box name.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

All that done"! About 3 times with either the machine and the user name and..........nothing!
I tried everything you could possibly imagine,.......it must be something to do with the machine's registry keys......

How are you connecting to the machine? Through a share? What process are you using to copy the files? I'd first check the file permissions on the server and then check the share permissions (if applicable.)

I have just realized something.....let's see if I can put it simply: On my server I had folders containing the backup files of my workgroup in its individual client folder. Example: \\my_server\client_backup\client1_folder + client2_folder etc.
Yesterday I was trying to figure out the problem I did some tests on another folder (which was working perfectly). Now I was accessing the folder client1 on the server from the pc_client1 and chenged various settings, permissions and security; from the same machine I fiddled on another folder, client2 on the server. Now here is the kicker: ever since I CANNOT ACCESS (copy, execute etc.) THAT FOLDER ANYMORE"!, not even from the the pc_client2. I guess that the problem must have been caused from other client-pc's changing the security/permissions on a non proprietary folder. Now what I think I need to know is how to enable or change these permissions. Any help on this would be for ever and ever appreciated. Eux.

hi,
Have you tried accessing the client machines from the server? Make sure the usernames and passwords are identical on both machines. Have you tried setting the permissions on the folders to 'Everyone' with full access?

Hi Scott.....do you mean from the server machine connecting and browsing through files from the Server? Yes I've done that....and apparently is fine. One minor details though, I have not set password to any of my clients; however I doubt that may be the issue.
I also have the Everyone set with full-access permissions on the folders and still........nothing"! It is driving me crazy.....

couple of things,
Are they the same workgroup?
Is the password complexity setting on the 2000 server set, and also are the users on the server part of the administrator group?Try using passwords on both machines, the usernames and passwords have to be exactly the same.
Make sure the settings for network access times hasn't been set as well. Im trying to remember most of this from memory but there is a way of setting the times when clients can access the server, i think it's in the manage section/users, similar to windows xp manage command.Keep us informed :-)

Or you can install ultr@vnc on the server
and on your client and simply log into the
server as an administrator from the client
computer and use its file transfer function
in ultr@vnc to copy the back-up files over
the lan to your client computer.

Its what I do when reloading clients files
from the server as after I restore the
files back to the client it usually fixes
any server connectivity problems. Best part is
the software is free and it installs and runs
fast. :)consultor
