Thanks for the tip. I found a solution myself. On the machine itself, I copied the complete webapps directory to a new folder. That copy then had the rights it needed. Once I did that, I could access all folders like I was used to. Now everything works normally. What caused this problem is still a mystery to me, and to be honest I'm not going to dive into it too deeply now it works. You get the points btw!

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I just installed a new webserver (Windows 2000). It's a simple webserver running Jakarta Tomcat. I copied the websites (webapps folder) from the old server to the new one, and made a share of that new copied folder. When I try to access this webapps folder from my laptop, I get &quot;access denied&quot;. The webserver can use shared folders on other computers, but the other way around doesn't seem to work. If I create a new folder, and share that, it works normally.<br />
<br />
I used a standard share, didn't change anything. Everyone has rights to do anything. I've installed several other webservers, and never had this problem. How can I set the proper rights?

Sharing problem after copying

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
