Invalid File Handle - Windows 7 clients talking to Mac OS 10.5.8 server

Hello
I have a file-sharing volume setup under 10.5.8 server - however with the addition of Window 7 clients i'm noticing lots of error whilst trying to copy to or from that volume {setup under SMB and AFP} via a windows machine...
My Mac OS clients report no issues
My windows clients report the '' Invalid File Handle''
any fixes?
many thanks in advance!

Invalid File Handle Windows 7 with Novell Client 2 SP1

Hello!
I have a user on Windows who gets "invalid file handle" when saving files in
WordPerfect and possibly Adobe as well. He thinks it mostly occurs when he
has multiple files open and has saved one open file to a different
directory. Then if he goes to save another file in it's same directory, he
gets the error. I hope this makes sense. Would anyone have any idea if it
does make sense?
Thanks!

Maybe that was once the intention by novell, but I assure you that you
will have no trouble finding a lot of people/exemples that proves the
opposite...
Yeah, you can set the server-side settings which do have an impact,
on win7 stations = blue screen if ON. But to say that it overrules the
client setting....No way....
We have had every single server EVER setup with Netware with
filecaching OFF and OpLocks2 off and changing the client side setting
DO make a direct difference, mostly bad but in the case of Win7, file
caching on seems to be a requirement since Win7 can't handle any open
files in a good way withouth it. It simply states "file not found" if
file caching = off. If file caching = on, then the client will receive
the message that the file is busy and can be opened in read-only.
And, again, have file caching = on AND changing the server also to ON
is NOT a good idea, at least not for us, since we got blue screens all
over within a couple of min's when testing that setting and those
disapperad just a fast when setting it to off again on the server.

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX?

How do I share files from Windows Vista to a Mac with Lion OSX? I'm having SO much trouble with this! Any help would be appreciated!!!

In a finder window, under 'shared' you should be able to see the windows computer name, click on it and connect to it. I am assuming here you have sharing turned on and permissions granted on the windows computer.
Will add a note though, I have frequently accessed files from a PC on the LAN using XP, not vista.

I have 2 concerns, first my Canon 5d Mark II is not showing up when I try to download pictures. I have to use the card reader to do so. Then there is no file handling window available anywhere. Please help. Jim R.

Oracle 10g EE Windows Client on different machine than Pracle 10g EE server

I downloaded the Oracle 10g EE Windows Client and installed it on a WinXP (SP3) machine that had no Oracle components installed. The idea was to use it to connect to an Oracle 10g EE database running on another machine on the network.
After installing the software, what I find in the start menu is:
Oracle Client 10g Express Edition
- Go To Online Forum
- Read Documentation
- Register For Online Forum
- Run SQL Command Line
When I "Read Documentation" and go to the "Getting Started" link it talks about other menu options which I can't find ("Go To Database Home Page").
Clearly something isn't working here, but what?
Pete

This option is available on server. Not on client.
Use following link instead:

32bit windows client PC not able to print from TS server 2008 64bit

I had a HP M1216NFH printer install at branch office. The branch user will need to remote connect to Terminal Server to access the stock program and print the order back to M1216NFH printer. But none of the branch user are able to print remotely.
The Terminal Server is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit version, and all the branch users are using 32bit Windows 7 and XP version. The printer redirection is created during remote session, and user is able to select the printer to print, but is nothing come out from the printer.
I had install x86 printer driver, but is still not working. Server is auto using remote desktop easy print driver when printer redirection in remote session.
I did try connect branch user PC to another Terminal Server running on WIndows Server 2003 R2 Standard 32bit version, and tested is no problem to print.
Can anyone guide me what is the step that i was miss out for Windows Server 64bit configuration in order to allow 32bit windows client to print?
Thank you.

I believe the only way to print client side from a web app would be to use the ActiveX print control off of the viewer (disregarding the ugly way of using the browsers print button).
If there is another way I am sure someone will correct me

Can load text file in Windows - not on the Mac?

I have some code that loads a text file into an array that works fine in windows, but fails on the Mac I'm sure it's a path issue but I've spent several hours trying to work this out.
Windows code works fine:
    var textPath = "c:\\temp\\textfile.txt";
     try {
        var myFile = File(textPath);
        var mymenuItems=[];
        var menuItems=[];
        myFile.open('r');
        while(!myFile.eof){
            mymenuItems.push(myFile.readln());
        myFile.close();
Mac Code Fails
var textPath = '/User/wizbowes/Desktop/text.txt';
     try {
        var myFile = new File(textPath); //tried both with and without new - same effect
        var mymenuItems=[];
        var menuItems=[];
       myFile.open('r');
   while(!myFile.eof){
            mymenuItems.push(myFile.readln());
When debugging on the mac myFile.eof shows true straight after I open the file and therefore never enters the loop to populate the array
What on earth am I doing wrong?

1. For files on your desktop you can use a shortcut.
var textPath = '~/Desktop/text.txt';
2. Make sure the file object is valid before you open for reading. The new keyword is not really needed it just make clear in the code that you are creating a new file object. However just creating a file object does not means that the file already exists. You could have an invalid path.
try {
        var myFile = new File(textPath);
        if(myFile.exists){
           // rest of the code
3. If you don't want to check that the file exists you could check the return of the file.open() method. It should return true if it opened the file when opening an existing file.
var openSuccess = myFile.open('r');
if(openSuccess){
    // some code that reads from the file here

How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
Format the drive
It should now work on both OSs; report back

Is there a conflict in copying files from windows to formatted for mac ED.

I am going to format a large external drive for mac to house my movie files under advice of several helpful people here. When I format this drive the am I going to have problems copying the files back to it from my windows pc????
I had already backed my movies and photos' to the drive....but formatting will delete them.
Any feedback appreciated!

To begin with, I've arranged to have your post moved from the Solaris 11 forum to the Solaris 9 forum.
That's the closest arena for questions involving a system running Solaris 8, as you stated in the title of your post.
I think you have a Filezilla issue, not an OS issue.
It's been a very long time since I needed to investigate deep into Filezilla's settings but I recall there's some various choices as to 8-dot-3 versus long-file-name compatibilities.
My various systems with Filezilla installed don't have your issue and they're all installed with what I vaguely remember as its program defaults. When I use the program it is ALWAYS to transfer files back and forth between MSWin and *NIX systems.
You might think about searching for hints and solutions on Filezilla forums/blogs/wikis instead these forums here.

Moving .csv file from windows(client) to linux server

Hi All,
I have a .csv file in "D:\Datafiles\Test.csv". I need to move this file to server top "$XXLS_TOP/admin/import/US/" using shell scripting.
Server : XYZ
Login : test_user
Password : password
Can anyone help me on this.I am new to shell scripting..

Hi,
As already mentioned above, you have 2 major options:
1.samba (lots of docs on the net)
2. ftp (even more docs on the net)
If you decide to use ftp, then here's a starting point:
-install ftp server on your Win machine-
-you can use lftp , which has the ability to read a set of commands from a file
For instance:
[kido@kido ~]$ pwd
/home/kido
[kido@kido ~]$ ls
cacti_backup.tar.gz                    Desktop     ftp       j2re-1_4_1_02-solaris-sparc.sh out   test
cacti_data_query_ucdnet_device_io.xml diskio.tar help.txt net-snmp_devio.xml              perl
[kido@kido ~]$ cd ftp
[kido@kido ftp]$ ls
ftpscript
[kido@kido ftp]$ cat ftpscript
open localhost -u kido,123kido$
ls
get help.txt
bye

Windows 2000 connected to Mac OS X 10.4 Server

We are in the process of installing a digital press with a workflow front end running Windows 2000 Server. We would like to connect this to our XServe running 10.4 Server. Are there any issues with connecting an older Windows operating system to newer Mac OS? I assume I will need to set up a SMB share point for file transfer but am wondering if there is anything else I need to configure or worry about?

Wow! Ask and you receive. I definitely will give that a try. I also have told another G4 owner about this.
Thanks.

Transferring network user files from Windows Server 2003 to Mac OSX 10.5.8

I'm wondering if any network admins out there have a suggested method of transferring network user files from a Windows Server 2003 to an XServe running 10.5.8?
When we did the file transfer, clicking and dragging, there were a myriad permissions issues that subsequently arose. Surely there is a way to strip permissions off files PRIOR to the transfer?? Maybe not, but I'm wondering how you folks have done it.
We have had nothing but persistent permissions issues since the transfer (i.e. folks who should have access to files, being denied access, including the local server admin!!). This also translates to synch errors for network mobile accounts.

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?

HOW TO: EDIT IN PLACE ON WINDOWS CLIENT

Hi everybody,
I work in TIBA (broadcaster company), we use FCS so much and I have a problem, actually i have running edit in place on XSAN for MAC clients, but i cant work of the same way on windows.
We have XSAN and fiber channels working.
I configure the device but it doesn´t work.
Somebody, help me please. My email is [email protected]
Kind regards
Emiliano

Hi,
No iam not using stornext for the windows clients.
The mac and windows clients running on ethernet. The the mac clients have mapped the xsan volumes using AFP or SMB protocol and the edit in place works ok.
The windows clients have mapped the xsan volumes through SMB but the edit un place doesnt work, the files are cached and doesn´t run as edit in place.
Note: sorry by my english.
kind regard.
Emiliano
Are you using StorNext FX to add the Windows clients to your Xsan? If so, then all you have to do is add the Windows Edit-in-place URI to each EIP device in the Devices section of the Java client Admin GUI (not the System Preferences pane). Once you've done that, EIP will work for the Windows clients as well. Here are the instructions for entering the correct URI syntax.
If you are not using StorNext FX for your Windows clients, please give us more detail on how your system is set up.

Failure of ACL setting for CIFS share resource on Windows client logined with administrator account

Hi,
We accounter a puzzle of ACL setting for a CIFS share resource. In our application, we use the
administrator account to login a Windows 7 OS which is used as the CIFS client. We can access the share resource by "\\server_ip" on this CIFS client, but we can't add
a new ACE to the ACL of a CIFS share resource provided by a CIFS server.
Why dose this hanppen? Note that the CIFS server maybe a Windows OS or a self-developed CIFS server.
The operation details as followed:
1.Access the share resource by "\\server_ip", login the CIFS server by a valid account on the CIFS server.
2.On the Windows client, select the "Security" panel in the mouse-right-button properties dialog of a cifs share resource.
3.To add a new ACE for someone eg. user0, we input "user0" in the "Select Users ans Groups" dialog popped up.
4.Click OK, but the Windows client will not get the user information for user0 from the CIFS server.
WHY?
5.By wireshare network trace, we find the Windows client didn't send any SAMR requests to the CIFS server.
6.Restart the Windows client OS and login again with another account except administrator, carry out the above operations. We find that the Windows client can get the user information, opposite with the step 4 above.
WHY?
7.By wireshare network trace, we find that the Windows client has sent SAMR requests to the CIFS server to get user informations. But that is different from step 5, WHY?
If the Windows client OS is login with administrator account, is there any configuration on Windows client to decide whether request user information on CIFS server when setting ACL for CIFS share resource?
Expect your help.Thanks.
Best wishes.
