Just upgraded to the latest version of SAMBA (from 16p9 to 1.9.17)
Under Windows for Workgroups I now find that DOS COPY commands of
the following form dont't work:-
COPY S:\DIRECTORY\FILE C:\
they produce the following error:-
General failure reading drive S:
(where S: is a network drive attached using NET USE)
Note that there is no problem when copying files using Windows and that
the problem does not occur in a DOS box under Windows 95.
Also if I CD into the required directory the COPY works i.e.
S:
CD DIRECTORY
COPY FILE C:\
I noticed the problem because there is a COPY command in my LOGIN.BAT.
Any suggestions?
