Appleshare IP 6.2 & XP not saving files

by sceva . Updated 20 years, 5 months ago

I have a Mac OS 8.6 file server running Appleshare 6.2. I have a windows 2000 Pro and an XP Pro computer that access files on that drive. I have 2 problems: From a windows machine I can create a folder, but cannot rename it (also have trouble creating new files). Also, I have set up some folders as “make available offline” on the pc’s. If I add a file to one of these folders while offline, when I try to synchronize I get a message stating that the system cannot find the file specified, and it is not copied to the Mac.

I have searched for a solution and haven’t found anything that worked. I think the easiest thing will be to use another windows 2000 pc as the file server for the PC’s, and then set up a batch file on the MAC to copy the folders from the pc server to the Mac daily (because the tape backup is on the Mac…)

So I am either looking for a solution to the file/folder create problem, or how to do a batch file on the Mac to copy the files on a daily basis without human intervention.

Thanks.
