Re: Remote desktop: cannot copy files why

That is what I suspect as well.

To the OP: When you are logged on to the server as its administrator, what
account did you logon at the XP workstation with? Does the server
adminisrator have any privileges on the XP system? If so, then a similar set
of permissions or privileges needs to be given on the workstation to the
accounts in the server administrators group.

From your more detailed description it appears that your issue
is not with the server or the remote desktop sessions, but with
the permissions granted to those other accounts on the XP.

Thank you for your response

XP remote desktop client

Win 2k3 server host

When logging onto the server from the client as the server's
Administrator user, I can copy files from the shared documents folder on
the server and paste them to the xp desktop.

I have created other users on the server, and added them to the
administrators group.

I use these user to log onto the server from the XP client computer.

Logged on as any of these users I can copy files from the shared folder
on the server to the server desktop,...

I cannot copy files from the shared folder on the server to the the XP
desktop.

All users are listed on the security tab of the shared documents folder,
as is the Administrators' group

All users have the same permissions as the Administrator User, except
ownership.

All the Remote Desktop connectoids are configured the same.

Why can I not paste files to the XP desktop for users other than The
Administrator.

XP desktop: latest version of remote desktop client

Connecting as Administrator allows me to copy files from the shared
folder to my XP desktop.

Connecting as another user does not allow me to copy files.

The users are part of the administrators group, users group, and the
remote desktop group.

What else do I need to do?

I'm not sure exactly, but the information you give seems a bit
incomplete. You mention an "administrators" group, but you do not say
whether that is the one local to the XP workstation or local to the
server. The two computers each have their own set of permissions.

What do you mean by "connecting as Administrator"? Do you mean logging
on, or are you using the administrator's credentials to map to a share
or access a remote UNC? Whatever the case, the account that owns the
process that is actually performing the copy needs to have read access
to what is being copied from and read/write access to what it is copying
to.

Perhaps if you outlined the steps you are following in a bit more
detail...
