Bill, Send me your email address so we can correspond of the list On the Linux server cd to the directory above the one you are trying to copy into. i.e.. if you are copying to /home then do a cd to /. From there do an ls -la, you should see something like this several different entries then drwxr-xr-x 8 root root size Feb 15 11:41 home In order the first bit (d) means this file is a directory. The next nine digits are the permissions on the directory the first 3 indicate the owner has read, write and execute permissions. Everyone else has read and execute. The number immediately following is the number of links on the file. The next two items root root indicate the owner is root and the group owner is root. Assuming you do not have a user named root on your NT machine you need to do one or two things. 1. Are you using samba to connect (SMB) Do a man samba. If so check your /etc/smb.conf 2. Then you can do a chmod (Change mode) on your directory. i.e. chmod 777 /home. This will give everyone full access to this directory so be careful! 3. I use an NT laptop and have a Linux server and I copy files back and forth all the time. Hope any of this helps bart OK.
