Can't copy .htpasswd or .changes from ubuntu server via samba. Why?
772
I'm trying to copy a twiki data dir (ubuntu server) via a samba share to an XP box... all files copy except for .htpasswd and .changes. Any ideas why not? Is there some service that is protecting them?
It may be that the file permissions are set such that the user you connect as via samba can not read them. ls -l at the Linux side will show you the ownership and rights information so you can see if there are differences between these files and the others, you may also see this in the Windows file properties dialogue (in the security tab) for each file depending on how your Samba daemon is configured.
I copy these files off my server without any problems.
Permissions of these files might not be accessible by the samba server maybe?
