ps - we are as well working on a decent solution on this issue, but it needs resources, time as well as training-on-the-job experience. it's called "switch to InDesign"... ;-)

Hi! Trust me when I tell you, "I feel your pain"

We tried renaming the temp files too, but apparently our server is locking them somehow ... we get a message that says the file is "in use" and thus can't be deleted or renamed.

SMB and Tiger
 

Since switching to Tiger, we have not had any of the problems running off our Windows 2003 Server. However, we have not changed our socks since we noticed this, in fear of jinxing ourselves. I should not even be posting this statement, because the server pixies may find out what I have said and retaliate.

Networking with tiger and windows 2K
 

I know your pain as well.

I have 3 - G5s running tiger, an xserve running panther, 3 - G4s running panther and 2 windows 2K servers which we use to connect to our photographic machines

When using panther (using AFP) i can connect to them with no problem, I can create folders, delete folders, i can drag files in, replace the files once updated and delete the files.

But when using tiger I connect using SMB, I create folders, Drag files in.
I cant delete folders, files or update them via tiger it says "the operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items" it also adds in an extra file which you can see on the PC but not on the mac. _filename and the only way to delete them is to disconnect all the users and restart the server and then delete the files.

I would like to get this sorted, so i can upgrade all the other macs to tiger.

any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks.

tiger and pc networking
 

I have discovered a piece of software called PC MACLAN from computer associates.

this should fix any problems that your having.

Hi, we have been having the same problems on our network has anyone been able to find a working solution to this? Has the PC MACLAN software continued to work in the long run?

Thanks!

Hoppers,
Are you still there? It's been a few years since this thread began and there are several issues being tossed up so I hope I am not going back too far. Those ._filename files -- I get one for each MP3 file when I use my Windows format MP3 player on my MAC. Then the playback is all wacked out and has stall out issues. I delete all the ._filename files in Terminal. That allows it to play all the songs fine. Maybe you could use a script to do it but I do it one by one. Painful but effective.

Is there a fix for this issue yet? We are having the same problem with our Mac 10.3.9 clients connecting to a Windows 2003 server.

WoW I guess i will revive this thread....I have mac osx machines running 10.39 and quark 6.5 and using a windows 2000 file server. When we open a file on the server and go to save it, no matter what way, it disappears and leaves that temp QXP.#'S.QXP file, but that disappears also from the mac's view when clicked on. The files do get saved but has to be recopied to the server via a windows machine or the server itself. I need help, im sick of this quark issue.

Please try to not cross post rboklewski.. It just confuses the hell out of many people and also since you didn't state your original thread people would only ask the same things.

Has there been any concrete resolution to this problem?
