SYMPTOMS

If you try to rename a file, copy a file to another filename, or otherwise alter a file shared from a Windows for Workgroups server from within the MS- DOS Prompt of another Windows for Workgroups machine, you may receive the following error message: 

   Extended Error 65
If you attempt to alter a file shared from a Windows for Workgroups server from File Manager on another Windows for Workgroups machine, you may receive the following error message: 

   File Manager cannot create or replace <Filename>:
   Access Denied. Make sure the disk is not full or
   write-protected.

CAUSE

These errors occur because the share is designated as having read-only access from the server machine.

RESOLUTION

To resolve the problem, assign full-access permission for the share on the Windows for Workgroups server, as follows:

  1. In the File Manager application, choose Share As from the Disk menu.

  2. From the Access Type list, select Full.
