[Bug: 21.4.20] Network Drives

[Steve Higham]

Hi Vin,

The shared drive is hosted on a Windows 2000 Pro box.

I have just created a new file (S:\test.txt) on the server. This worked fine
and is editable on the server. However I cannot edit it when connecting over
the network. I can edit it (and save it) over the network using GNU Emacs so
this is not a permissions issue.

According to explorer the attributes are "AC". Both server and network
client have "Full control" permissions.

This problem is affecting all my files on my network drive. Everything was
working fine until I upgraded from previous version (21.4.13).

My network client is running XP Pro 64. This shared drive is accessed by a
number of other applications which are not experiencing this problem.

Please let me know if I can help further.

Kind Regards,

Steve

Thanks for the bug report.  As Stephen mentioned, this is an area that
has been undergoing active work in the last couple of releases.  In
any case, a few more details would help.  Is s: a samba share?  Also,
please send us the permissions on s:\Misc\Todo.txt as well as the
s:\Misc directory.

Thanks,
  Vin
