[jcifs] Difficulties writing files on Win98 server

[Brand Hilton]

I have a shared folder on a Win98 machine.  I've set it up with "full 
access" and no password.  I can bring the folder up in Windows Explorer 
on my WinXP system and create, delete, and edit files in the folder all 
I want.

Using jcifs, I'm able to read and even delete existing files with no 
problem.  However, if I try to create a file or open an existing file 
for output, I get the following exception: 

Exception in thread "main" jcifs.smb.SmbException: The system cannot 
find the file specified.

That's from the SMBFileOutputStream constructor, invoked as follows:

               SmbFileOutputStream out = new 
SmbFileOutputStream("smb://Actw98/HICAP/testfile.txt");

Note that I don't see this problem when the remote machine is WinXP or 
Win2k.  Only with Win98.

I'm using jcifs 1.2.12. 

Here's the full traceback of that exception:

Exception in thread "main" jcifs.smb.SmbException: The system cannot 
find the file specified.

Any help is appreciated.
