RE: IFS NTFS cannot copy

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is just a guess, but maybe there's some attribute set on the 2003 
server that the iSeries doesn't support?  When Windows copies the file, it 
tries to also copy that attribute -- but the iSeries doesn't support it, 
so it fails.

It seems to me that the difference between saving a file from Word, and 
copying it from an existing source is that you're creating a brand new 
file on disk instead of copying an existing one.  And possibly, the 
special attribute isn't being set in that case, so you can freely copy it 
to the iSeries.

I'm not experienced enough with Win2003 to tell you what the attribute 
might be, unfortunately.  But maybe this'll lead you in the right 
direction?
