Servers: NW 5.1.7
Workstation: Windows 98SE with client32 v3.4
There is a batch file that copies files from server A to server B. At certain point, the copying gets stuck and message is displayed on the workstation: ""Network Status. Client32: out of disk space writing file to server B." Unless I press OK, the copying will not continue. There's plenty of space and memory, no quotes or user restrictions on server B.

Unless you are using NCopy, the file is copies from Server A to the workstation and then to Server B.

Use the NCopy command to copy the file from server to server.

I am well aware of ncopy existence, but we use xcopy for its /D and /Y switches, which ncopy does not support.

CAUSE:
The server B, being just an archival server, had no restrictions set or rights assigned. However, server A had size restrictions set to home folders. These restrictions got transferred to server B during a test restore from the tape.

FIX:
Re-set home folders on server B to "don't restrict" and the problem went away.
