Trouble transfering files over network

[studionovaa]

I am trying to tranfer files from a Win2000 box onto a WinXP box. I am able to map a network drive on the Win2000 box to the WinXP box. I can't see or map a network drive in reverse order (eg on the XP box to the 2000 box).

When I try to drag and drop onto the networked drive I get denied with a warning "Error copying file or Folder; Can not create or replace XXXX; Access denied". I do not have an easy removable media option ...

Does anyone know another way to move files over this network.

Try adding Full Control permission to XP's shared folder.

I did check the "Share this folder on the network" and "Allow other network users to change my files" boxes under Properties/Sharing for the folder I am trying to transfer into but that didn't work.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed to be shared.

Thanks for the links ... I've already worked over the EZLAN info to no avail. The MS page was good as I did not know the architecture they have established for sharing. Unfortunately, I had already put the folder to level 1 access. I'm starting to thinks that this may be a XP to 2000 conflict. And I still can't figure why I can't see anything on the 2000 box from the XP box#%&@!

Eureka! Finally figured it out! I had set up conflicting sharing rules. The C drive was set for sharing but at level 5 access (read only); this overrode the level 1 access I had set up for the folder on the C drive that I had mapped. Once I checked the sharing for the C drive and made it level 1 access, then I was able to transfer the files.
