X-Authentication-Warning: delorie.com: mail set sender to opendos-bounces using -f Message-Id: Date: Mon, 12 Jul 2004 08:40:42 -0400 (EDT) From: Gary Welles To: OpenDos Subject: COPY/MOVE From Mapped Drive Reply-To: opendos AT delorie DOT com Would it possible to flag a remote drive as local to overcome a problem with 4DOS? I have been unable to copy or move files from a remote drive with 4DOS. According to JP Software, beginning with v7.01, 4DOS will no longer copy from remote unless it can first lock the remote file. It is easily worked around as _any_ other copy utility will work regardless. Only 4DOS locks itself out (details below). -- Gary Welles +----------- Mapping with Novell Personal Netware, files won't be locked unless SHARE.exe is installed on the remote system. Without SHARE on the remote host: C:\NWCLIENT>copy e:\wsx.pat e:\wsx.pat => c:\nwclient\wsx.pat Lock violation "e:\wsx.pat" 0 files copied Using DESQview/X's remote drive TSR to map drives 4DOS fails only when run on DR-DOS: C:\COPY_LOC>copy e:\copy_rmt\trial.doc e:\copy_rmt\trial.doc => c:\copy_loc\trial.doc Access denied "e:\copy_rmt\trial.doc" 0 files copied With 4DOS on MS-DOS 7.10, the remote DV/X DR-DOS machine reports the files were opened in Mode "ISF R" with 4DOS and "ISW R" with DOS XCOPY: 4DOS: COPY d:\create.com Filename Handles Mode Attr Date Time Owner CREATE COM 1 ISF R ...... 01/07/99 07:03a 0c58 DOS: XCOPY d:\dconvrt2.exe Filename Handles Mode Attr Date Time Owner DCONVRT2EXE 1 ISW R ...... 01/07/99 07:03a 0c58 +-------------
