Copy a file from a client to the Finder

I am trying to gather files from clients to my (administrator) computer. I used Spotlight search to find the files. Once the files are found, I drag them from the Spotlight search results window to my desktop. I see the little green "+" sign as I am dragging over the desktop. Then a "Copy to this computer" window shows up, with the remote computer in the list. The files don't get copied to my desktop. How can I copy to the administrator's desktop???
Thanks for your help.

My mistake, it is working with the Copy to this computer window

    Hi,
    Basically, the process is of log shipping. Transferring logs from DC to DR system.
    For that, you can check HowTo - Standby DB log shipping - MaxDB - SCN Wiki
    This is script based. I have not done it but the idea remains the same.

  • Copying a file from my ipod to the PC

    I have a Dell laptop running Vista with itunes installed and need to copy a large music file from my ipod 20 GB to my pc. It is one of the first ipod's....
    I tried this earlier and all my music was erased from the ipod
    After I upload the file with the music to the pc... I would like to copy to itunes
    Please help
    Thank you!

    iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes:
    Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to iPod.

    I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

    Trying to copy ANY file from my MacBook Pro to an external hard drive spins for 45 minutes then fails. I hate this computer and WISH I never would have wasted my money. Any ideas? WD My Passport 2TB Drive, had to buy a program to make the POS read files. Copies that would take seconds from a Windows based machine never complete. I have to close the transfer or shut off the machine half the time. Worst computer I have EVER owned, crashes non-stop, constantly freezes, and seems like EVERY operation is more complicated with this thing. Literally, my 1997 Compaq was FAR MORE reliable and user friendly.

    This is one of the messages I keep getting; The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in -- File Whatever -- can’t be read or written.(Error code -36)
    I have copied things to the hard drive in the past, but it has always been incredibly slow, and now just seems to freeze and fail

    To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
    Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.

  • When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.

    When copying raw files from Extreme IV card to hardrive, finder copies a few files then exits task and wipes the card clean of all images.  Have tried new card and card-reader to no avail.  Have done this many times on other macs with no problems.
    Can edit files off the card, in CameraRaw, prior to 'copying' them, ie can 'save as' to the hard drive, so files seem okay on card, before I try to copy them using copy and paste.
    Running OS 10.8.3 on a new macbook pro.

    Rita,
    The process for determining what is causing the files to be corrupt can be a tedious one depending on the following:
    1. Can you review the images on your camera's LCD screen without problems? If not then the problem is most probably either a corrupted/faulty memory card or a faulty camera. If this is the case then your best bet at recovery (of sorts) is to use a program such as BrezzeBrowser from BreezeSys to extract the embedded jpeg versions of the corrupted RAW files from within each RAW file. Chances are, you won't manage to actually repair the corrupted RAW file but the jpegs are better than nothing.
    2. If the images review ok on your camera but are corrupted when viewing on your computer and there seems to be no other problem with other files on your computer then it may be either a faulty card reader or usb/firewire cable between the card reader and the computer that is the culprit. Try the card reader with a different cable and also try a different card reader to determine the cause of the corruption.
    3. If your symptoms are that you get different files corrupting over time when viewing them on your computer then the problem may be any one of either failing RAM memory, hard disk, hard disk controller or IDE/SATA hard disk cables. This is where the troubleshooting can be pretty tedious testing then eliminating each item from the list of suspicious pieces of hardware. Try the card and card reader on an altogether different computer to see if the files transfer correctly to that computer. If so then the problem lies with your computer hardware. If you haven't already done so at this stage, backup all your important data immediately (hopefully you keep backs anyway).
    Hope this helps.

  • How to copy a role from one client to another in a system using the CUA?

    Dear all,
    I have a question about transporting roles. We have CUA configured on our SAP system. Our development environment contains several clients. Recently I created a role by using PFCG in the development environment named E1D-100. Later there was a need to affect a user by this role but on another client of the development environment named E1D-200.
    How can I transport a role from a client of the development environment to another client of the same environment.
    While I use SU01 to assign the role, after clicking on "user comparing", I can see that the new created role exists on E1D-100 (the client of the development environment where the role was created), but I see that the role doesn't exist on the other client E1D-200.
    How should I proceed?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dariyoosh

    Hello again,
    Thank you very much for all of your answers. I tried both solutions and both worked pretty well. Thanks a lot for your help.

  • Copy a file from URL to local HDD

    Hi,
    I've got 2 problems:
    1. I'm an absolute beginner and an german-speaking user of this forum
    2. I want to copy a file from within a signed applet (with full access permissions) from a URL on the server to a local directory on the client. It works with .txt or .ini files, but not with .dll or .exe. The .exe file has only 1KB instead of the 5MB and contains only something like "-1". Help!!
    Here's what i made:
    URL updateurl = new URL(getCodeBase() + "testfile.exe");
    InputStream in = updateurl.openStream();
    FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("C:\\temp\\testfile.exe");
    byte[] buf = new byte[4096];
    int len;
    while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0)
         out.write(buf, 0, len);
    out.close();
    in.close();
    Thanks for any help!

    From looking at the code I can't see any blatant errors.
    The only thing I can think of, is: is your code wrapped by a try/catch block which you are ignoring?
    The reason I ask, is that maybe you are not downloading the file you intended in the first place. The reason I think this is because of the line:
    URL updateurl = new URL(getCodeBase() + "testfile.exe");Shoudn't there be a separator between getCodeBase() and testfile.exe? Only a guess, since getCodeBase may already return the separator.

  • Error while copying GL Accounts from One Client to another client

    Hi,
    We are trying to copy GL accounts created in one client to another client (Company Code is same in both the clients). First we executed FS15 (send) and a file was created on the server. With the help of BASIS team we checked that file and it contained the required values. However, when we are doing FS16 (receive) we are getting following OK messages:
    File /usr/sap/DEV/SYS/global/FBISABC is being checked
    Session 1 session name RFBISA20 : No terminations have been found
    However, at the same time we are getting following error message:
    File name FI_COPY_COMPANY_CODE_DATA_FOR_GENERAL_LEDGER_0X is unknown
    Message no. SG001
    Diagnosis
    No entry was found in the conversion table for the logical file name FI_COPY_COMPANY_CODE_DATA_FOR_GENERAL_LEDGER_0X.
    Procedure
    Add an entry to the conversion table for the logical file name. Maintain the conversion table with the transaction SM30.
    Can someone please advice is there something wrong that we are doing for copying GL accounts from one client to another client.
    Thanks,
    Sanjay

    Dear Sanjay,
    Did you check the batch-input? SM35
    It could have happend that there was a mistake in the batch-input data and that the destination file has not been written. If this has not been written it could not be found.  (I.E. you tried to transport G/L Accounts with deletion flags but did activate the checkbox "Transfer deletion ****").
    There is another point: Did you activate the box "Datei nur prüfen" (English: Check file only)? If this box is activated the programm will check if the batch-input-file will be written without mistakes but it will not write the file. Only if the checkbox is not activated the batch-input-file will be written. (the same with FS16).
    Kind regards
    Maike

  • OS X 10.4.7 server: Samba leaking ram when copying large files from windows

    Hi.
    I'm having problems with:
    Copying files from windows clients to OS X Server 10.4.7 uses up the RAM needed for the files to be copied.
    If I copy a 3GB file, it uses 3GB of RAM
    If I copy a 5GB file, it uses its 4GB of RAM, plus VM.
    If I copy 11GB of files (that is several little files, plus some big by dropping a folder to the share), it consumes all the RAM the machine has, and because of VM paging, whatever other clients are reading from the disk (XRaid) start to have hiccups.
    The RAM of the machine NEVER gets flushed after the copying has finished. So Samba is unusable as it is. I have four Xserves with 4GB of RAM, with 4 XRaids connected each one to each Xserve with its Apple Fiber Channel card and cables.
    I already did the ack=0 thing, got the size of inet.tcp.sendspace and rcvspace to 8388608 and the buffer to 16777216.
    The transfers rates are up to 70MB/s with 2 channel 1gb trunking, and at very sustained rates..
    We are using these to edit video content (DV 25) in Sony Vegas with 2 or 3 clients for each server.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks very much.
    XServe G5 cluster node (4) / XRaid 7TB (4)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Michael, I occasionally notice anomolous behaviour when files get dragged between volumes. Mostly the copying window shows an accurate and immediate indication of what's going on, but other times it just looks like nothing's happening, the display never changes, yet, it is in fact copying the files over. Now, if you're copying 2gb files from DVD to HD, it's gonna take some time, more than 5 minutes, so I'm wondering how long you've left it before forcing it to quit?

  • Copy CSV file from windows to linux

    Our oracle is installed on UNIX machine so we have to place CSV file there.

    how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?

    how to copy CSV file from windows to UNIX server?Using scp (secure copy).
    It is supported by Putty and ssh services are available by default on most (if not all) modern Unix servers.
    Don't have a Windows machine close by, but I recall the scp command is supported by the Putty executable called "+pscp.exe+".
    The syntax is very simple:
    scp <from_destination> <to_destination>
    example (pushing a file from Windows to Oracle Unix server)
      scp c:\datafiles\accounts.csv [email protected]:/u01/files/accounts.csv This will prompt for a password.
    You also can use ssh trusted certificates (RSA or DSA keys) to automate this. Using Putty you can generate a key pair that consists of a private key and public key.
    You copy and paste the public key into the destination server's +$HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys+ file. This results the server in trusting that client and allows the client to connect (using ssh, scp and sftp) without having to supply a password (as the private part of the key serves as authentication). (I would however not use the oracle account for this, but a special scp-copy usage Unix account that does not support shell usage)
    If you want to automate it the other way around - have the Unix server pull the file from the Windows client, then you need to install server software on that Windows machine to allow it to provide such a file copy service.
    Again I suggest using ssh - OpenSSH is available for a variety of platforms, and Windows should be included. If not, there should be ssh service for Windows from Microsoft or another vendor that can be used.
    Any other method than ssh will be either insecure or problematic. FTP is insecure as usernames and passwords are transmitted in clear text. Using Windows File Sharing requires Samba to be loaded and configured on the Unix server - and this is extra work installing and configuring and testing s/w that uses a low level security, that is also proprietary and could required setting on the Windows client also to make it work in a somewhat robust fashion.
    The standard today is ssh. It is robust and secure. And it makes a lot of sense to use it.. and pretty good motivation for not using it ifo something else.
