WinNT can't open some Samba exported folders

[JohnConnolly]

I have a whole bunch of folders exported via Samba. WinNT &quot;sees&quot; all of them but when I try to open some of them I get a message saying the resource doesn't exist.<br><br>I've noticed that the folders with only one upper-case letter at the beginning e.g. Backgrounds1 open fine but those with multiple upper-case e.g. ColourCamera1 won't open. Is this some kind of restriction in Samba or maybe WinNT's sending the wrong name?<br><br>John Connolly&nbsp;&nbsp;

In linux, capitalization counts. In windows, it doesn't matter. For example in windows Temp = TeMP, but in linux they are two different animals. This may be the source of your problem. I am not sure if samba takes care of this. Come to think of it, on my system, linux with win98, I have not had this problem, then again win98 has no security.<br><br>Try accessing the folders via a command prompt and make sure you use proper capitalization.<br><br> <p> fenris<br><a href=mailto:fenris@hotmail.com>fenris@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Does the user you are browsing network neighbourhood with have permissions to access the file in samba.conf?&nbsp;&nbsp;IIRC, any user can browse the available resources on a Lan Manager network.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, if you don't have permission to access the resource you will get the message you are seeing. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried exporting the &quot;ColourCamera1&quot; folder as &quot;CC1&quot; and can open it fine so it looks like a length thing (or maybe length plus multiple uppercase). Need to try some more combinations...<br><br>John Connolly
