A problem has arisen with the way samba handles file creation dates compared to NT/win2k, which prevents xcopy /d from working correctly. On NT/Win2k, files copied from another NT machine using xcopy end up with the modified dates equal to the original modified date of the file, and the created and accessed dates become the date of the xcopy operation. On Samba, files copied from an NT machine using xc...

Right in the middle of a big XCopy from Win2K SP3 to Samba 3.0.8 I get an "Access Denied" kicked back from XCopy and it ends. XCopy is building dirs from scratch on the Samba server - starting for a clean empty share. XFS FS on the server, Debian Sarge. I've heard of odd things with RoboCopy, but what about XCopy doi...

Hi I had sent a mail about a week ago regarding a xcopy problem I had. I am trying to copy an image of an nt workstation from an unixware 2.1.3 server running samba 1.9.18p8. Initially the client is a dos client, who connects to the unixware server and downloads files using xcopy. My problem after copying a certain number of files xcopy fails with pa...

...systems are probably selected a SMB protocol like Core Plus or LAN Man 1.0, or some other SMB protocol that has this MS-DOS limitation. Sorry that I cant find the MS Technical document ID that supports this; but you can spend a day or two and look it up at MS's internet site. Although I used xcopy for migrating disks I have never found it desirable to use. One slip and XCOPY does not copy hidden files or it misses special permission files. I recommend the following alternatives: Copy files between systems: GNU tar for wintel - Free, fast, reliable and can use compressed files on the fly...

hello, has anyone got samba-2.2.5pre1 working with "xcopy /o" ? it doesn't work over here with win2ksrv (as client) and samba-2_2 CVS as server (suse linux 8.0, xfs-acls, kernel 2.4.18). is xcopy /o supposed to work at all? any hint will be greatly appreciated. thanks, guenther -- Guenther Deschner guenther.deschner@...

I'm trying to do some quick backups from a Win2K laptop to a Fedora Core 1 desktop but it ain't working. The backups are just a bunch of xcopy's. Most of them run fine but two fail and I don't understand why. It appears that xcopy is attempting to create directories in both cases. When I run the backup targeting a Win98 desktop there is no problem. Here are two examples of the failure, most others work just fine! d:\>xco...

We use MS DOS 7 ala Win98 SE and the M$ client for DOS to logon to Samba 3.0.13 Debian Stable package from samba.org. Also one other unique thing, we have XCOPY32.EXE copied as XCOPY.EXE thus it is really XCOPY32.EXE we are executing, just as XCOPY.EXE. ;-) Example of failing line of code... echo f|xcopy u:\foo\bar.txt h:\file.txt where U: is the drive mapped to the server and H: is a local RAM drive using XFSDSK. The file is copied over and over and ov...

I have Time precision problem between linux samba shares and M$ files I want to use my tux to save files from my M$ PC's. Of course I want to do incrementals copy based on modification date... I mount my samba shares from my Windows Boxs and use tools on the micro$oft boxs. (Xcopy /D or SyncroniX ) The problem is that the modification date on the samba share and on de source file on the M$ local disk is sometimes different by 1s (newer or older). For example I create a file c:\mytest.txt the file properties says Created modified at 18:30:01 I xcopy it to my samba share windo...

...ragging it to a shared folder on the NSLU2 results in this OS/2 error:- SYS0266 : The specified file was not copied Inspecting the shared folder reveals that the folder has been created but is empty - no file copying performed. I investigated command line alternatives to copying files using xcopy with some strange results. In these screensnaps S: is a mapped drive of the nslu2 share /disk2 aka "For everyone" [S:\Pete]xcopy i:\temp temp /s /e /v /h /t /r The current target for XCOPY, temp, can be a directory or file name and must be specified. Respond Y if the target is a dir...

Hi all, I'm trying to use xcopy /o to copy files from a W2k file server to a Samba 2.2.7 box (Samba manually compiled with ACLs). I'm coming up with Access Denied, as documented here: http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-June/074548.html I gather that the "force unknown acl users" config option is supposed...

Hi I'm trying to keep a windows folder synchronized with a samba share using "xcopy /d" ,but it keeps copying again and again a number of files at random that haven't been modified. With a search over internet, I found that this is a pretty old problem, because I managed to find messages from other users that had the same problem, but unfortunatly no solution. Even upgrat...

Hi Germano, I just found your post regarding Samba and xcopy /d switch at http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-October/000699.html. This is also driving me mad. I was interested to know if you ever found a way around this problem ? It only seems to be a problem for me with 2000 and XP workstation. 98 works fine. Regards James

...ined into a AD, and when I tried to copy some files the owner ship of which contails both domain user/group sid and local user/group sid information, to samba server, only domain sid information could be kept, and the windows local user/group sid info was dropped. I verifyed this by using "xcopy /O /K". When I traced the samba log, it complained unknown sid, which was the local sid. And since I configured samba to lookup user and group by the order of passwd and winbind, AD could not retrieve the non-domain sid info which is only available in the member client.This seems to be rea...

...er. Manually running the batch file (ie double clicking in the file manager) works fine as does changing the destination to another "real" NT Share. The problems only occurs on SAMBA volumes and not when using another share from another NT. The batch file contains only one simple line xcopy "d:\current datafile\garvan.4dd" "t:\" where t drive is the mapped samba volume. Originally I thought it was something to do with "who owns/runs the AT Scheduler" but setting it's author to be me (via startup button in the services control panel - I am an admini...

...om sleeping the last week. Basically, I am running a DebianGNU/Linux based machine with samba 3.0.0 as a backup server for an amount of Windows NT4 workstations. There is an old backup "framework" around here, basically a collection of .bat files on the workstations which at night run xcopy /d to copy files from the workstation to the backup server (which used to be an NT4 server before, as well). This procedure by now was intented to only copy modified files from workstation to backup, which worked pretty well... This is not the case with Samba, however. Basically, the Samba serv...

At this point in my lab, the only solid servers I have are Win2000. So I xcopy the distro CDs into a directory that I make available for install via ftp. Well I have had problems copying files from this distro. I had to use the /c option in xcopy to get past the problem files.. A few examples are: The following files in the image directory of disk 1 has 'File creati...

...orrect directions as to what I am doing wrong. I have Samba 2.2.3a installed and configured with winbind for domain authentication using an ext3 file system with ACL support. It is working great! Thanks Samba Team! The problem that I am experiencing is I would like to use an application like "xcopy" to propagate the ACL permissions to the samba server from one of our w2k DFS servers. I have added a domain admin user to the "admin user =" string so that they can create file as root so they should be able to do anything! The admin user is able to authenticate to the Samba server...

I hope to get all 12 scenarios traced over this coming weekend: W1) copy from Win 10 SMB1 client (Explorer, xcopy /s) to SMB1 3.6.15 server share W2) copy from Win 10 SMB2 client (Explorer, xcopy /s) to SMB2 4.6.5 server share W3) copy from Win 10 SMB2 client (Explorer, xcopy /s) to Win 10 SMB2 server share W4) copy from Linux SMB1 client (cp -r, krusader) to SMB1 3.6.15 server share W5) copy from Linux SM...
