<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
We've inherited a server from a old partner company. I've created various SMB shares but cannot write *.INF file type to them getting error message access is denied. Thats even from running as the Domain Admin. All other file types i've copied over (exe, cab, txt, msi) are OK.<br />
<br />
Logged onto the server locally I can copy over this file type with any problems.<br />
<br />
Any idea where this control might be thats blocking it?
