Unable to copy one file in a shared folder.
I have several folders that i sync from a different domain. I have 3 files in various local locations from the other domain that I can't copy anywhere. The files are ALL named RUN. Other files in the same location/folder copy fine. The server i'm trying to copy from is running Server 2012. The worst location (by length) is \\serverName\sharename\xxx
There is a problem accessing shared folder path. Make sure you are connected to the network and try again.
The other files in the folder copy fine and are twice the size of RUN. RUN is 92KB. I can try to reverse, and go from the sync server to my machine, and that errors too.
I have turned off Windows Search, Because the file is so small, I thought about permissions, so I have gone to the root folder and forced "replace all child object permissions with entries from this folder" All files have the same permissions. I copied the file to the ROOT of the share, still won't copy.. I copied it to the C; of the server (share is on different letter) and after the long delay from right click, then longer delay after hitting copy, it will copy to my desktop.

Try renaming the file. The word "run" may be reserved by some services or processes; if so then that would probably account for the issues you're having.

I renamed it to Test, but with no success.

One other note, in the folder where RUN is, there's another application and that one is 218KB (Run is 92KB). The other application will copy fine. When i'm mapped to the folder, and looking at the files, the 2nd application file icon appears normal, where RUN icon is generic for a few minutes, then appears as the same icon as the other application file.
Does the RUN application have any dependencies?
ASKER
This is a windows server 2012, and I don't have the software to definitively say, but I've been told by the original folder owner that there are no dependencies on or by this file.
who is the owner of that file? (in access rights/permissions) check against the other app
ASKER
The owner of the folder and file is the domain user that I use to log into the box. it has local admin rights, but is just a domain user. I don't have access to see the perms of the folder as it sits on the domain i'm copying from.
"... and after the long delay from right click, then longer delay after hitting copy, it will copy to my desktop."
once in your desktop can you copy it back to original path with another name? , and retry copying it with same method as the other files?

I just did a test of the copy from the server c:\ to my desktop the attempt to just copy, failed with the original error " There is a problem accessing shared folder path. Make sure you are connected to the network and try again."
