WIN2K NOVELL SERVER FILE MOVE ERROR

[llambert2]

One of my desktop administrators is having an issue moving files from one directory to another on a NOVELL 4 SERVER. WE have what is mostly an NT4 network of about 1100 PC's in a dozen regional locations thruout the country. She is moving files within one region from one location on a Novell Server to another location on the same server. She is logging in on eaither a WIN2K or NT4 PC But the WIN2K PC is the issue. Here is what she wrote to me:

&quot;When I am moving files from an associate’s PC to another associate’s PC I am right clicking on the file and dragging it to the new location and choosing “move here” The files will stop the move about 8 times out of 10 (not every time). I get an error that says “Cannot move <filename>: Cannot find specified file. Make sure you specify the correct path and filename.” When I push the choice “OK” the file move stops. However when I look, the file it mentioned has been moved to the new location, but the file move has ended and I have to start it again, in order to finish moving the rest of the files. This is only happening from windows 2000 PC’s …When I go to an NT4 PC I do not have this issue. I have tried it both from my regular logon and using the administrator logon, but this doesn’t make any difference.&quot;
If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it...thanks

What version of the NetWare Client is she running on the W2k PCs?

This may be similar to the reply I made under &quot;Drive mapping issue&quot;.

Would it be overly complicated for your user to navigate to the required directory via the network tree, under &quot;My Network Paces&quot;?

Guess that is going to depend on why often she needs to move files. The other option would be to map a drive to the root of the volume and naviagte from there. I use this later method regularly.

BTW I'm running Netware 4.12 fully patched, W2K with SP3 and Netware Client 4.71.20000313.

Hope this helps.
