| Hi, I am a total ignorant when it comes to OS2. My background is unix mostly. My problem is I am trying to test a samba confg by copying files from C: into the shared drive using xcopy. The copy seems to go OK until it hits the Desktop dir, where the Xcopy stops, with the error : SYS1693: the system cannot create the directory. Is this happening because there is something special about Desktop? Is xcopy the best tool to use in this case or is there a better method of running the copy? Or, is copying c drive just totally stupid and I should try something else. Thanks so much, sm |

| Are you using xcopy from samba or from OS/2 command line? It could be it can not create a directory if the OS/2 drive is formatted using HPFS(?).

| Hi, you should be telling a little more about your situation. I don't understand where are you copying things FROM and TO. The destination is an OS/2 box? And the source? What do you want to achieve with your test? BTW, the desktop IS a special directory, if you're copying TO the boot disk of an OS/2 box. But then you probably already have a desktop dir in the destination... so are you trying to overwrite it? If so, OS/2 (with a running Workplace Shell) won't let you. Hope this helps.. Cris |

| Hi, you are right, I am very sorry about the lack of info. I was testing the samba connection by trying to xcopy all of C drive to the samba share. unix OS: linux kernel 2.4.21 I have recompiled the kernel of the unix box to add in handling of extended attributes in filesystems, and have configured the unix filesystem to allow handling of extended attributes (user_xattr, acl). I have also added I connected using: [C:\]xcopy c:\*.* z: /S /V /e /t /h /r This progresses until the copy reaches the Desktop dir, then it just stops. Thanks so much for your responses so far. sm |

| I've exactly the same problem. Sometimes during the Xcopy command to a Samba share (SUSE Linux Enterpise Server 9) Xcopy fails with: SYS1693: The system cannot create the directory. Any help would be appreciated. |
