Netware Client Cannot Create A FileLast reviewed: August 22, 1995Article ID: Q132758 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you access a directory on a Windows 95 NetWare-compatible peer server, you are unable to create a file in a directory where the NetWare or compatible client has create permissions and no write permissions.
CAUSEThis problem occurs because the CreateFile request expects a file handle to be returned that cannot be written to or read from. The underlying operating system on the server (Windows 95) does not support this type of network request.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, give the user write permissions to the directory, as well as create permissions.
MORE INFORMATIONNetworking programs sometimes attempt to use file creation and existence as a method of serialization (copy-protection). This problem may occur with such programs. If you have a program that requires this serialization technique and also requires secure access to files in the same directory, you should move the program to a true NetWare server.
