SYMPTOMS

When you use a Windows 95-based computer to copy a read-only file to a core SMB server (such as a LAN Manager for UNIX server), you may receive the following error message:

Error 5 - Access Denied

This occurs when using Explorer or XCOPY to copy the read-only file to the server. This does not occur when using File Manager.
