Copying into network folder

[wizzer]

I'm having a problem on one of my Windows 7 PCs, when the user copies a file into a network folder, that computer cannot see the file once it has been copied. Hitting refresh, coming out of the folder and going back in - nothing makes it appear. I can copy the file into the folder again and the computer doesn't complain that the file is there already.

If i use another computer - I can see that the file is there, immediately after it's been put there.

If i remove the file using another computer, and put it back again, the first computer can then see the file.

As far as i can tell this is just one computer on a network of ~40 and i'm stumped!

Anybody come across this before?

Does it follow that user when on a different PC or is it just on that PC? What server OS are you using? This might be a better question listed under one of those as this is probably a AD or Security setting issue.

That being said, if the issue follows the user on a different PC then it is a setting issue and you need to check the allow/deny permissions for that user on that folder.

Thanks for your reply - i'm pretty sure it's not a permissions issue though, as the file *does* copy - the user has full access to the appropriate folders etc.

I'm probably going to swap out the computer, i'm sure that will fix the problem - just doesn't get to the root of it!

Im not 100% sure, but I think if you have access to a folder with write only and not read, the above will happen. I will double check that on one of my servers and get back. At least a place to look.

An interesting theory but i have checked the permissions and the user has full access to the folder. And of course, if i put files in the folder he can read and access them so it's not that :-S

Did you figure out if the problem followed the user on a different PC?
