Hi all,

this is really hard for me to explain and im not sure whether this is in the right places aswell, so here it goes...

on machine2 (XP SP2)
i have a ext usb hdd connected (NTFS), where all of my media files are kept, which is shared (readonly).

my downloads down into another folder (NTFS) on the same computer, different hdd, also shared.

on machine1 (XP SP2)
i use this machine for everything, however, when my downloads are complete, i test them and make sure everything is ok, afterwhichi then want to move them from [download folder -> usb folder], but i cant as this is read only [usb folder]- the way i do this is by remote connecting to the machine2, moving it across that way.

is there a way that i can do this from machine1 without changing the properties of the folder and keeping it as read-only...

I have kept this as read-only as when i am accessing it using powercinema, it is tooo easy to delete the content accidentally, 2 clicks and its gone!

Cheers...

 

i haven't got a permissions tab

 

nope, its NTFS, it has the quota management not no permissions tab?

 

XP Home or Pro ?

 

xp pro sp2

 

first of, you're looking for a tab called security, not permissions. if its not there, do the following:

open windows explorer, go to tools, select folder options, select the view tab, scroll down and disable the use simple file sharing option.

 

the screen dumps are here...

 

d- cheers for that! your a top lady!
