i tried to save a flash file back onto my freebsd server running samba and when i hit save, windows xp gave some message but i hit enter to quickly to see what it said. it was basically saying that i could not save over a previous file for some reason. so i closed the file i was trying to save and went to look for the file that was there on the server and it's no longer there. so i have no file anymore. i didn't delete it. but it's not there. i desperately need to recover this file. if there somewhere I can look in the file system? Or does samba put files somewhere that I don't know? i tried file recovery in windows xp, but nothing can find the file. is there anyway to do file recovery on samba running in freebsd 4.10. thanks, josh -- Josh Dickens Only Creative 165 Bridge Landing Douglasville, GA 30134 770.363.3214 www.onlycreative.net
