Re: Copying files from AIX SAMBA 2.07 in Win9x

I am having the EXACT same problem now (AIX 4.3.3). The Win2k (sp2) machines
are using the SAMBA (2.2.1.1) shares just fine but win 9x are getting the
exact same errors: ie (cannot copy file: file system error (1026), or
directory does not exist. I tried using mangled files = yes option, and
increased my mangled stack but to no avail. I think it has to do with the
fact that although I have the option set to allow for case sensitive names,
the win9x machines are displaying directories and files with improper case
if more then just the first letter of the directory/file is in upper-case.
is there a way to clear the mangled stack? I'm thinking maybe that would
help but some of our dierectories have a hugh amount of files that I would
suppose fill the stack again.

As a side note, our password setup is fine because the users CAN connect to
the server and at least browse some of the shares. If I write a small
program in vi (filename in all lowercase letters) and dump it into the root
directory, I can make the drag n drop transfer without a problem on the
win98 machines.

Any help is surely appreciated,

Drew

does it work with a filename like AAA or AAA.txt ?

Hi all,

    I currently have set-up on an H70 RS6K AIX 4.3.3 box Samba 2.07 with a
share pointing to /tmp/reports.
The problem I am having is with Windows 95 & 98 PC's. I can open up certain
files directly with Notepad via the share. But when I copy a file(s) I get
a message about cannot access file ("Cannot copy file: file system error
(1026)". Yet When I open up the file in Notepad it allows me to save it
anywhere onto the PC.

I have looked at other forums regarding permsissions on the directories and
fields and even used the 'mangled files = yes' option just in-case the files
arn't recognised in DOS format.

This works fine if I copy them in W2k SP3.

Can anyone help me ?

 Thanks in Advance,

Jon.
