Topic: XP File/Folder copying to ibay permission problem

[byte]

I have this problem where a user copies files/folders from his XP machine to an ibay on the server, but when another user try's to view the copied files from another machine they dont see them. I then have to go and change the permissions for them to view the copied data

I did a search but couldn't find anything, has anyone had this issue before?

TIA

Bump... does any have this problem?!

NT permissions problems, don't ever recall anyone mentioning anything like this before, but it is more of a Windows rather than SME issue (probably).

Does the user have some "strange ownership" of the directories/files?

Are other users having similar problems or is this just one user?  If just one user how do permission look compared to the machines which work ok?

I cannot immediatly think of what is wrong but will have a play.

Is the XP machine a domain member or simple workgroup?

Thanks for replying Dave...

It's simply a workgroup, I would also say it's a windows problem but thought maybe one would have come across this problem before using SME.

Bascially I have a ibay which has a group to allow one person RW access and everyone else as R access, once the RW access person uploads from his files he created on his windows XP  pro machine to the server no-one else can see them, the RW access person then has to re-create the folder ON the server and cut & paste there files...

I shall try this on another setup and see what that give's me
