CANNOT write to files in the shared folder of XP on a PC running windows 7 - but good vice versa

I have a laptop under Windows 7 (SP1) and a desktop running XP (SP3).  I have connected both via a wireless network. While I can see and access shared files/folders from one computer to the other computer, I can only read/write files in the shared folder on the portable computer that is running Windows 7.

If I try and change a file in the shared folder from the PC under XP on my laptop, I get the message "this file is set to read-only. Try again with a different name "."  I know that the file is NOT checked for read-only. When I change the name of the file I get the error message "\\Desktop\SharedDocs\filename.doc you are not allowed to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval.  You want to save in the folder my documents instead? "If I save the file to another location on the laptop under Win7 it save then OK.  I can not just save a modified version of the file in the same shared folder from desktop running XP.
It seems that it must be something to do with permissions and access to the parameters of the desktop running XP but I can not find these. Fairly easy to find in Windows 7.
Finally, I don't have a login/password set for the connection to the computer to Office XP.  I don't have a user name and password for the laptop Win7 but you have turned off password protected sharing.
Anyone have a solution to this?
Thank you

OK - the problem is now resolved.

I noticed that the read-only for the shared folder has been checked. When I unchecked it and also checked the box "allow network users to change my files" in the shared folder properties/sharing, I was able to modify and save files in the shared folder on my laptop.
It's a little weird because I thought I had done this the other day where the results have been less successful.  Strange.
Thanks for your help.

  • Sync Center gets stuck saying "pending sync", never synchronizes the files on the shared folder offline

    Hello

    I have a laptop (Compaq 8440) running Windows Vista Enterprise (not yet upgraded to SP1).  I have a shared folder mapped to the N: drive on my laptop.  This shared folder is located on a computer on my home network.  Every day, I move my laptop between my home network (wireless) and my work network (cable intranet).

    I scored a subfolder in the shared folder available offline.  It worked for about two weeks, but now when I try to synchronize with the shared folder offline files, Sync Center has constantly "waiting for synchronization" status  He never goes out with synchronization, regardless how long wait.

    I tried clicking "stop"button in Sync Center, but this does not prevent the synchronization.  I do not see error messages or the situation in Sync Center.

    I tried to restart the laptop, but nothing helped.  I tried to disable/reactivate the wireless connection, but nothing helped.  I can connect to the shared folder and discovers the other directories that are not 'available offline", is not a connectivity problem.

    Thank you

    Hi Jason,

    You can try to remove the sync partnership and add it back.  Who can get things working again.  See the following link on how to put an end to partnerships, then in the section above, how to create them.

  • Moving reports of MY file to the shared folder

    Hi friends, I am new on OBIEE. I created all of my reports in my file and I want these reports to the shared folder.
    What is the best method to do this so that I don't have to change any code in report.

    Help, please.

    Unfortunately, OBIEE doesn't remember path. You will have to re-do drag applications in the dashboard of the location of the shared folders. Hope that you did not build too many dashboards, at this point.

  • Save the file to the shared folder in Release Build works, but not in Export version

    We are ready to present our application to App World. However, we noticied when testing the 'export release' that build our file saving function of does not work (the file is not be saved - but the folder we created). The file records fine when running in debug or release mode, but not to export the final file.

    Is - this all simply because we are not supposed to try to run the bar directly exported version file and it should work once on App World? Has anyone experience this problem?

    We are trying to back up the folder "shared/music/AppName" If that helps.

    We have corrected it. We were writing somehow to the wrong address in the "shared". For some reason, it still worked when you use version debug/directly from the IDE, but does not when exported. That's all now works well.

  • We can export runing DB oracle on linux backup file to the shared folder windows directly?


    Hi friends;

    We can export runing oracle DB on linux backup to windows shared folder file directly using exp utility (using the user exp = aaaa file=\\10.10.10.xx\backupfolder...)

    concerning

    If you use "exp", you could use an installation of the Oracle Client (which has included in it exp) on Windows and connect to the network (using an LMO connection string) to the database on the Linux server.  This way, the dump file is created by Windows exp.

    Otherwise, if you don't know how to mount your Windows file system to Linux (I have not), you can run Linux exp.

  • "There are insufficient resources to open another file" to the shared folder

    Microsoft Highway 2006 *.axe of restrictions on file for sharing

    Good afternoon

    In our Organization, we use Microsoft highway with a *.axe shared with bugs all over the United Kingdom and Europe.

    Currently due to the size and more and more people using the file, it appears that when a number of users are connected (do not know if there is a maximum restriction) new users trying to open the file download "There are insufficient resources to open another file"

    After testing when a user leaves the file, the user receives the error can get in fine arts and the work user that disconnected Gets the error.

    I had our server guy answering the question if there is no restriction on the server that might be at the root of the maximum number of users to access a file, but I said that there is no restriction.

    Does anyone know if the application has restrictions that cause this?

    I hope someone knows the answer!

    Thank you very much.

  • I can't move original items out of the "shared" folder

    I made a new account on my macbook pro OS X 10.9.5 so the first thing I did was moved all my files in the shared folder. then after I had them in there I've moved them back, thinking that he would make a copy in the shared folder. In fact, he did the opposite. He made a copy of all my files, and that's what I have now. all the original files are always in the shared folder, and I don't know how to get out! Help, please.

    To remove the Shared folder, you will need to log in as the user that put them there. Other users cannot remove or change them.

  • Moving the Outlook Express Store folder to the shared folder of VMWare

    I am running Windows XP under Fusion 5.0.2 on my iMac running OS 10.8.2.  I want to move Outlook Express folder my wife of storage in VMware's shared folder so that its records are included in backups Time Machine.  Unfortunately, as soon as I select the VMware folder in the navigation under Tools > Options > Maintenance > store folder, the OK button will gray preventing selection.

    I originally moved the storage folder of OE out of its usual location on the virtual C drive on an external disk to keep data staff internal hard drive in the iMac. I created a file of commands using XXCOPY for saving these files to another external hard drive, but it does not provide a backup of the version; that is, if inadvertently, I save a damaged file, I have two copies of the corrupted file and no good copy to return.  (Fortunately, I also do a weekly backup on another external drive that I keep off site, which saved me from disaster recently.)

    I exclude the virtual machine (.vmwarevm) all backups TM to go back to the storage of OE on the virtual C drive folder would not solve my problem.

    I decided that the usefulness of TM outweighs the risk of having some personal data on the internal hard drive and transferred all my other files in the share folder VMware, that works very well to keep my files, they are created in Windows or on the host, in a place and keeping them supported by TM.

    I guess not being not able to move the OE store folder to the shared folder of VMware is a limitation of Windows, but does anyone know a way around?

    It's doable, even if you manually change the "Store Root" key in the Windows registry to point to the network location while OE is closed.

    See the image below for example, although it is worth noting that the path between the {} will be different for each user.

    Hi, hope someone can help me.

    I'm under HPDM 4.5 SP4 on a member of the domain Windows 2008R2 SP1 x 64 server.

    I try to use the model "_Capture Image" on a light field customer non-member HP T610 (Agent version: 4.5.3360.18502, version of the device: 6.1.7601.286)

    Configured the master repository, used Filezilla server and did a test on the FTP and the Shared folder.

    FTP path: ftp: / //hpdm ("C:\Inetpub\Ftproot\HPDM")

    Path of the shared folder: ------\hpdm

    Bin play with the settings and read this for a day, but no mather what I try, whenever I use the model I get: ErrorCode:-400 could not connect to the shared folder.

    Edit: when I run the model, I see a folder created in "C:\Inetpub\Ftproot\HPDM\Repository\Images\test1_1", but the HP Imaging tool displays some time: set up the share folder. Finally the error task and the test1_1 folder is deleted.

  • Cannot write to the shared folder in secure workspace

    Hello

    I'm working on an application that writes to a debug log file in the shared documents folder. I use blackberry.io to get the path of the file as follows

    fs.root.getFile(blackberry.io.shared + '/documents/debug.txt', {create: true}, this._handleFileRead, this._handleError);
    

    Make sure I have "unsandbox" first by going to: blackberry.io.sandbox = false; According to the API.

    When I deploy the application on personal space, it works very well. When I deploy the application through the BES10 to the workspace and then I get a NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR trying to get/create the file...

    Note: If I try to create the file in my sandbox it works well in both areas.

    Hi Georgechr,

    The error message indicates that your application doesn't have write access to the shared directory.

    FYI, the shared folder of the workspace is located here:

    Accounts/1000-Enterprise/Shared

    While the shared personal folder is located here:

    / accounts/1000/shared

    First, we will ensure that blackberry.io.shared actually point to the shared folder of the workspace. Print (console.log ()) its results and attach to your response.

    An application which is installed within the perimeter of work can store data in the work and personal spaces as long as the following it policy is the value allow on BES:

    Security-> App work access to the personal data
