Over local network file copying stays at Zero Bytes...

I am not sure what section to put this under or what is causing the problem. It seems I cant access files over my home network any more.
My wife has a 2.4 c2d Macbook running 10.7.2, I have a 2.4 c2d iMac running 10.7.2, and we use an AirPort Extreme base station.
She has a user set up on my computer so she can connect over the network. File sharing and Print sharing are enabled. She has been added to the external drive with the files on it as a read only user. Everything has worked well until very recently.
First Playback, the program I use for uPnP streaming to my xbox, ceases to function. To the best I can find, that is due to a change in how the xbox requests files since a recent update. Not an apple problem but it did spur me to use a more direct approach: Plug the laptop to the television and open the file via my wife's macbook. After connecting to my imac over the local wireless network and browsing to the file, I first attempted to directly open the video. This method has worked well in the past. I took about 5 minutes before quicktime launched. Quicktime did report the run time of the video but failed to ever display any frames and effectively froze. I shut down the macbook, rebooted. This time after browsing to the file I attempted to copy it over the network to her computer. This resulted in finder making it so far as to actually say Copying the file but the progress remained at Zero Bytes and the progress bar never resized. After 10 minutes like this, I canceled that transfer and waited until that process closed. I chose another file that had a thumbnail instead of the quicktime icon in hopes of better compatability. The quick look preview began to spiral and I got the rainbow wheel as a cursor. I never got the oportunity to begin to attempt the new file. I had to reboot the macbook again to stop that process.
Placing the original file on a usb stick and then again on her computer has allowed me to open the file on both machines.
When I first switched from windows, fixing these types of issues often confused me as I looked for the complex windowsesque settings and options. I often miss the simple and obvious way to fix most mac problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Copying itunes library from Mac to Windows over Local Network

I am a recent switcher. When I first got my MacBook I connected my Windows formatted iPod to the MacBook to transfer my purchased iTunes music, and everything worked fine.
Now I want to transfer the iTunes music folder from my Mac to a PC (both Vista and XP) over my local network. However, when I try to do this I get the following error message:
Error 0x800700FE: The specified extended attribute name was invalid.
I get the same error message if I try to transfer the individual music folders (eg Oasis).
I have no trouble transferring the folders for song/albums that I have subsequently downloaded to the Mac from iTunes. I only have the problem with the music I originally transferred from the iPod.
I have been trying to research extended attributes to see if I can edit this, but it all goes over my head. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
i'm also a new Mac user (Vista did the trick , and i found this article on the Apple support website.
Below information can also be used to do the inverse... Mac to PC.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302392
It explains how to do a backup to CD/DVD. When you have a large library, multiple DVD's will be used.
It tried it out with a portion of my lib, burned a backup with my PC, and imported it on my MacBook. Works great! All but last played information is copied over...
Even Podcast, Movies etc are taken into account, also music not residing within the iTunes folder. After the restore on Mac, everything is properly placed within the iTunes folder you assigned.
Enjoy,
Roger
PS: in fact this article is "on the top" of the following list: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ :-))

Quicktime very slow to load files over local network

I've had this issue before and managed to resolve it, but recently it's cropped back up and I've been unable to fix it.
If I attempt to load a movie file with Quicktime over my local network, Quicktime stops responding... it will eventually spring to life and open the video after a few minutes.
Before, I was recommended to install Perian and did so. That solved that issue immediately. However, in more recent releases of Quicktime, the issue has reappeared and even reinstalling Perian has done nothing.
Any insight?

BT FON is an open network that does not use wireless encryption, so it will be slightly faster anyway, however as your problem seems to be with your main SSID, its possible that there is some incompatibility between your wireless card, and the home hub.
Try changing the wireless encyption on the home hub to WPA only, and not WPA/WPA2. Some wireless cards do not like mixed mode encryption.
There may be an update to your wireless card drivers.

[Forum FAQ] Troubleshooting Network File Copy Slowness

1. Introduction
The Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol is a network file sharing protocol, and as implemented in Microsoft Windows is known as Microsoft SMB Protocol. The set of message packets that defines a particular version of the protocol is called a dialect. The Common
Internet File System (CIFS) Protocol is a dialect of SMB. Both SMB and CIFS are also available on VMS, several versions of Unix, and other operating systems.

SMB Versions and Negotiated Versions
- Thanks for the
Jose Barreto's Blog
There are several different versions of SMB used by Windows operating systems:
CIFS – The ancient version of SMB that was part of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 in 1996. SMB1 supersedes this version.
SMB 1.0 (or SMB1) – The version used in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2003 R2
SMB 2.0 (technically SMB2 version 2.002) – The version used in Windows Vista (SP1 or later) and Windows Server 2008 (or any SP)
SMB 2.1 ((technically SMB2 version 2.1) – The version used in Windows 7 (or any SP) and Windows Server 2008 R2 (or any SP)
SMB 3.0 (or SMB3) – The version used in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
SMB 3.02 (or SMB3) – The version used in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows NT is no longer supported, so CIFS is definitely out. Windows Server 2003 R2 with a current service pack is under Extended Support, so SMB1 is still around for a little while. SMB 2.x in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008
R2 are under Mainstream Support until 2015. You can find the most current information on the
support lifecycle page for Windows Server. The information is subject to the
Microsoft Policy Disclaimer and Change Notice. You can use the support pages to also find support policy information for Windows
XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
In Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2, we introduced the option to completely disable CIFS/SMB1 support, including the actual removal of the related binaries. While this is not the default configuration, we recommend disabling this older
version of the protocol in scenarios where it’s not useful, like Hyper-V over SMB. You can find details about this new option in item 7 of this blog post:
What’s new in SMB PowerShell in Windows Server 2012 R2.
Negotiated Versions
Here’s a table to help you understand what version you will end up using, depending on what Windows version is running as the SMB client and what version of Windows is running as the SMB server:
OS
Windows 8.1 WS 2012 R2
Windows 8 WS 2012
Windows 7 WS 2008 R2
Windows Vista WS 2008

1.2 Check, Enable and Disable SMB Versions in Windows operating systems
In Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 and later, there is a new PowerShell cmdlet that can easily tell you what version of SMB the client has negotiated with the File Server. You simply access a remote file server (or create a new mapping to it) and use Get-SmbConnection.
To enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012, please follow the steps in the article below.
Warning: We do not recommend that you disable SMBv2 or SMBv3. Disable SMBv2 or SMBv3 only as a temporary troubleshooting measure. Do not leave SMBv2 or SMBv3 disabled.

1.4 Related Registry Keys
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MrxSmb\Parameters\
DeferredOpensEnabled – Indicates whether the Redirector can defer opens for certain cases where the file does not really need to be opened, such as for certain delete requests and adjusting file attributes.
This defaults to true and is stored in the Redirector variable MRxSmbDeferredOpensEnabled.
OplocksDisabled – Whether the Redirector should not request oplocks, this defaults to false (the Redirector will request oplocks) and is stored in the variable MrxSmbOplocksDisabled.
CscEnabled – Whether Client Side Caching is enabled. This value defaults to true and stored in MRxSmbIsCscEnabled. It is used to determine whether to execute CSC operations when called. If CSC is enabled,
several other parameters controlling CSC behavior are checked, such as CscEnabledDCON, CscEnableTransitionByDefault, and CscEnableAutoDial. CSC will be discussed in depth in its own module, so will be only mentioned in this module when it is necessary to understanding
the operation of the Redirector.
DisableShadowLoopback – Whether to disable the behavior of the Redirector getting a handle to loopback opens (opens on the same machine) so that it can shortcut the network path to the resource and
just access local files locally. Shadow opens are enabled by default, and this registry value can be used to turn them off. It is stored in the global Redirector variable RxSmbDisableShadowLoopback.
IgnoreBindingOrder – Controls whether the Redirector should use the binding order specified in the registry and controlled by the Network Connections UI, or ignore this order when choosing a transport
provider to provide a connection to the server. By default the Redirector will ignore the binding order and can use any transport. The results of this setting are stored in the variable MRxSmbObeyBindingOrder.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\
Security Signature settings – The RequireSecuritySignature setting is stored in MRxSmbSecuritySignaturesRequired, EnableSecuritySignature in MRxSmbSecuritySignaturesEnabled, RequireExtendedSignature
in MRxSmbExtendedSignaturesRequired, and EnableExtendedSignature in MRxSmbExtendedSignaturesEnabled. Note that the Extended Security Signatures assume the regular security signatures are enabled, so those settings are adjusted if necessary based on the extended
settings. If extended signatures are required, regular signatures have to be required.
EnablePlainTextPassword – Support for using plain text passwords can be turned on using this key. They are disabled by default.
OffLineFileTimeoutIntervalInSeconds – Used to set the expiration time for timing out an Exchange (discussed later) when the exchange is accessing an offline file. This value defaults to 1000 seconds,
but can be changed in the registry and is stored in the global Redirector variable OffLineFileTimeoutInterval
SessTimeout – This is the amount of time the client waits for the server to respond to an outstanding request. The default value is 60 seconds (Windows Vista). When the client does not receive the
response to a request before the Request Expiration Timer expires, it will reset the connection because the operation is considered blocked. In Windows 8, the request expiration timer for the SMB 2 Negotiate is set to a smaller value, typically under 20 seconds,
so that if a node of a continuously available (CA) cluster server is not responding, the SMB 3.0 client can expedite failover to the other node.
ExtendedSessTimeout – Stored in the ExtendedSessTimeoutInterval variable, this value is used to extend the timeout on exchanges for servers that require an extended session timeout as listed in the
ServersWithExtendedSessTimeout key. These are third party servers that handle SMB sessions with different processes and vary dramatically on the time required to process SMB requests. The default value is 1000 seconds. If the client is running at least Windows
7 and ExtendedSessTimeout is not configured (By Default), the timeout is extended to four times the value of SessTimeout (4 * SessTimeout).
MaxNumOfExchangesForPipelineReadWrite – This value is used to determine the maximum number of write exchanges that can be pipelined to a server. The default is 8 and the value is stored in the variable
MaxNumOfExchangesForPipelineReadWrite.
Win9xSessionRestriction – This value defaults to false, but is used to impose a restriction on Windows 9x clients that they can only have one active non-NULL session with the server at a time. Also,
existing session based connections (VNETROOTS) are scavenged immediately, without a timeout to allow them to be reused.
EnableCachingOnWriteOnlyOpens – This value can cause the Redirector to attempt to open a file that is being opened for write only access in a manner that will enable the Redirector to cache the file
data. If the open fails, the request will revert back to the original requested access. The value of this parameter defaults to false and is stored in the MRxSmbEnableCachingOnWriteOnlyOpens variable.
DisableByteRangeLockingOnReadOnlyFiles – This parameter defaults to false, but if set to true will cause level II oplocks to automatically be upgraded to batch oplocks on read-only files opened for
read only access. It is stored in the variable DisableByteRangeLockingOnReadOnlyFiles.
EnableDownLevelLogOff – False by default, this value controls whether a Logoff SMB will be sent to down-level servers when a session is being closed. If this is false, and the server has not negotiated
to the NT SMB dialect or does not support NT Status codes, the logoff will not be sent because we aren’t sure that server will understand the request. The value is stored in MrxSmbEnableDownLevelLogOff.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\
ResilientTimeout – This timer is started when the transport connection associated with a resilient handle is lost. It controls the amount of time the server keeps a resilient handle active after the
transport connection to the client is lost. The default value is 300 seconds (Windows 7, Server 2008 R2, 8, Server 2012).
DurableHandleV2TimeoutInSecond – This timer is started when the transport connection associated with a durable handle is lost. It controls the amount of time the server keeps a durable handle active
after the transport connection to the client is lost. The default value is 60 seconds (Windows 8, Windows Server 2012). The maximum value is 300 seconds.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SMBWitness\Parameters\
KeepAliveInterval – This functionality was introduced for SMB 3.0 in Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. The witness protocol is used to explicitly notify a client of resource changes that have occurred
on a highly available cluster server. This enables faster recovery from unplanned failures, so that the client does not need to wait for TCP timeouts. The default value is 20 minutes (Windows 8, Windows Server 2012).
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SmbDirect\Parameters\
ConnectTimeoutInMs – Establish a connection and complete negotiation. ConnectTimeoutInMs is the deadline for the remote peer to accept the connection request and complete SMB Direct negotiation. Default
is 120 seconds (Windows 8).
AcceptTimeoutInMs – Accept negotiation: The SMB Direct Negotiate request should be received before AcceptTimeoutInMs expires. The servers starts this timer as soon as it accepted the connection. Default
is 5 seconds (Windows 8).
IdleConnectionTimeoutInMs – This timer is per-connection. It is the amount of time the connection can be idle without receiving a message from the remote peer. Before the local peer terminates the
connection, it sends a keep alive request to the remote peer and applies a keep alive timer. Default is Default: 120 seconds (Windows 8).
KeepaliveResponseTimeoutInMs – This attribute is per-connection. It defines the timeout to wait for the peer response for a keep-alive message on an idle RDMA connection. Default is 5 seconds (Windows
8).
CreditGrantTimeoutInMs – This timer is per-connection. It regulates the amount of time that the local peer waits for the remote peer to grant Send credits before disconnecting the connection.
This timer is started when the local peer runs out of Send credits. Default is 5 seconds (Windows 8).

3. How to Troubleshoot
3.1 Troubleshooting Decision Tree
1
Is the slowness occurring in browsing a network shared folder or copying a file, or both?
Browsing, go to 1.1.
Copying, go to 1.2.
Both, go to 1.3.
1.1
Is the target a DFS path or not?
Yes, go to 1.1.1.
No, go to 1.1.2.
1.1.1
Is the client visiting the nearest DFS root server and file server?
Yes, go to 1.1.1.1.
No, go to 1.1.1.2.
1.1.1.1
Browse the corresponding (Non-DFS) UNC path directly. Do you still experience the slowness?
Yes, go to 1.1.1.1.1.
No,
go to 1.1.1.1.2.
1.1.1.1.1
Issue is the particular file server responds to the share folder enumeration requests slowly. Most probably it’s
unrelated to DFS. Follow 1.1.2.
1.1.1.1.2
Issue is that client experiences delay when browsing the DFS path, but no delay is visiting the target file server
directly. Capture Network Monitor trace from the client and study if the DFS path is cracked down.
1.1.1.2
Use dfsutil.exe to clear local domain and referral cache. Then visit the DFS path again and capture Network Monitor
trace from the client to study why the client goes to a wrong file server or DFS root server.
1.1.2
Not a DFS issue. Issue is the particular file server responds to the share folder enumeration requests slowly. “Dir”
the same share folder from Command Prompt. Is it slow?
Yes, go to 1.1.2.1
No, go to 1.1.2.2
1.1.2.1
Check the number of subfolders and files in that share folder. Is the number large?
Yes, go to 1.1.2.1.1
No, go to 1.1.2.1.2
1.1.2.1.1
Try to “dir” a different share folder on the same file server, but with less items. Is it still slow or not?
Yes, go to 1.1.2.1.1.1
No, go to 1.1.2.1.1.2
1.1.2.1.1.1
Probably to be performance issue of the file server. Capture Network Monitor trace from both sides, plus Performance
Monitor on the file server.
1.1.2.1.1.2
Probably to be performance issue of the file server, particularly, of the disk. Capture Network Monitor trace from
both sides, plus Performance Monitor on the file server.
1.1.2.1.2
Same as 1.1.2.1.1.1. Probably to be performance issue of the file server. Capture Network Monitor trace from both
sides, plus Performance Monitor on the file server.
1.1.2.2
Explorer.exe browses the share folder slowly while “dir” does fast. The issue should lie in the particular SMB traffic
incurred by explorer.exe. It's a Shell issue.
1.2
Is the target a DFS path or not?
Yes, go to 1.2.1
No, go to 1.2.2
1.2.1
Is the client downloading/uploading against the nearest file server?
Yes, go to 1.2.1.1
No, go to 1.2.1.2
1.2.1.1
Try to download/upload against that file server using the Non-DFS share path. Still slow?
Yes, go to 1.2.1.1.1
No, go to 1.2.1.1.2
1.2.1.1.1
Not a DFS issue. Capture Network Monitor trace from both sides to identify the pattern of the slowness.
1.2.1.1.2
This is unlikely to occur because the conclusion is contradictory to itself. Start from the beginning to double
check.
1.2.1.2
Same situation as 1.1.1.2. Use dfsutil.exe to clear local domain and referral cache. Then visit the DFS path again
and capture Network Monitor trace from the client to study why the client goes to a wrong file server or DFS root server.
1.2.2
Same as 1.2.1.1.1. It's not a DFS issue. Capture Network Monitor trace from both sides to identify the pattern of
the slowness.
1.3
Follow 1.1 and then 1.2.

CS3 slow over local network

I'm on a MacBook Pro 2.33GHZ Core 2 Duo w/2GB RAM.
Websites are shared from a Windows XP machine using normal
built in file sharing.
In Dreamweaver CS3, opening a document takes a while. And
once it's open and everything looks good, I can click on an image
and count out 2 seconds before the image actually highlights. Click
on another image or in a table cell to type text, and it's another
two seconds.
This site website, copied to my own hard drive, responds as
fast as it should - near instant.
The website and images aren't large by any means, 43k with
HTML, images, and css. It seems weird that it'd be slower over the
network than locally. Once Dreamweaver has the document open and
everything loaded, just selecting different elements shouldn't take
a performance hit.
I didn't have this problem with Dreamweaver 8.
Anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ryan

2008R2 Network File Copy Fails

Mystified on this one.
2008R2 SP1 server in remote location. Trying to copy files over the network either through Windows Copy/Paste, Robocopy, RSync...or you name it.
Copy fails at some point regardless of method. When using Windows Copy/Paste I get an error that says "There is a problem accessing \\SERVER\SHARE Make sure you are connected to the network and try again."
I have:
Upgraded the NIC drivers to the newest
Tried disabling TCP Chimney
Tried disabling all TCP offloads in NIC settins
Applied Hotfix # <cite class="vurls">2477730</cite>
Removed antivirus software and tried without it (Symantec SEP 12)
Windows Firewall is disabled
<cite class="vurls">Verified and even reset permission on the source and destination data</cite>
Network guy sees nothing as far as errors and problems on the line. When running a ping to the server in question, or from the server to the copy destination, there are no packet drops while the copying is running or when it fails.
I did notice in the security log there are a larger number of event ID 5156 and 5158, far more than similar servers in remote sites.

Hi,
Based on your description, we can try restarting the server in
Safe Mode with Networking to see whether we can copy the files.
Besides, although I think the following article may not be too much corresponding to our situation, we can give a try.

Applescript to shutdown computers over local network

Hey guys!
I'm looking for a way to automate shutdown of 2 macs over a local network from a remote mac. I'm currently doing this by screen sharing in and shutting down both macs manually.
I have this untested theory that I could use my very basic knowledge of apple script to create a shutdown script on each mac and use an alias on the remote mac to run the script. However I am sure there is a much better way of doing this, I'm just lacking the know how! The script I want would ideally do as follows.
Run script from remote to Mac 1 and Mac 2 over network
Quit all running applications on Mac 1 and Mac 2
Shut down Mac 1 and Mac 2 in 5 minutes
If any one could help me imporve my laziness my giving me some pointers on this or even letting me know if its possible it would greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
C

Introduction:
I have tried a few things over my local network. My attempt to run a remote AppleScript nearly shutdown the Mac I was activating it from. There are probably ways around this but I decided to try something else.
The following is a very stable solution once you have got it working. Each Mac to be shut down watches a folder called shut-down and if its contents change the Mac shuts down in one minute.
I am sure this can be improved upon.
Let me know how you get on.
Permissions:
It is simple to do all this as root user as described below but without 'with administrator privileges' at the end of the AppleScript.
If doing it as admin use the AppleScript as below. The plist may need permissions set to root wheel.
The shut-down folder will need appropriate sharing permissions.
Create plist etc:
open TextEdit
create a new document
set TextEdit format to plain text
copy plist contents below
paste into the TextEdit document
save as shut-down.plist
put document in folder /Library/LaunchAgents on each Mac to be shut down
create folders entitled shut-down at the root of Macs to be shut down
run launch AppleScript below on each Mac to be shut down
Future changes to the shut-down folder's contents will shut down the Mac.
Contents of shut-down.plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
          <key>Label</key>
          <string>shut-down</string>
          <key>ProgramArguments</key>
          <array>
                    <string>shutdown</string>
                    <string>-h</string>
                    <string>+1</string>
          </array>
          <key>WatchPaths</key>
          <array>
                    <string>/shut-down</string>
          </array>
</dict>
</plist>
Launch AppleScript:
Put the following on one line;
do shell script "launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/shut-down.plist; launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/shut-down.plist" with administrator privileges

IPhone no longer connects to my computer over local network through apps

I've been trying to fix this for months. I've worked with technology and Apple computers for three years. I am by no means an expert but you can believe me when I say I've tried all the basics.
I first noticed the problem using FullControl. I liked to use this first thing in the morning. One morning it wouldn't connect, "Error: Connection error (22)." I hadn't updated or changed anything. I actually put my computer to sleep the night before using the app! I was on the local network. My computer was running the helper. My computer was showing up as a device in the app. But it would not connect. I figured something was wrong with the app.
So I opened up Splashtop 2. My iMac showed up in my list but with a satelite icon informing me it was not connecting on the local network. I was still on my wifi as was my computer. I used it earlier that week.
I checked out the support pages for both apps. I updated everything. I turned off, on, and checked the connections for my firewall. I turned off my security applications and followed guides to remedy blocks they might cause. Nothing worked.
I checked Apple discussions and found people having similar issues but no one had a fix. A few found success but nothing worked for me.
A few days later I went to use my Remote app. My iTunes Library showed up in the local devices but it would not connect, "Remote can't connect to your iTunes library. Check your network settings and try again." I checked. Tried again. "Could not find [my] Library." I went back to the devices and connected to my Apple TV 2 instantly. I tried connecting my iMac with the Apple TV and found no issues. Each communicated with the other fine. I tried to connect Remote to my iTunes again but it failed.
I verified and repaired my permissions. I thought the "SUID... ARDAgent.app... [permission] has been modified and will not be repaired" could've been the problem but Apple and these Discussions assure me that this is normal and not a problem.
I recently downloaded Air Playit and ran into the same problem. I set it up on my computer following the instructions. I opened the app. The app showed my computer as a "Computer on Local Network" but when I tried to connect to server, "Connect Server Failed: Cannot connect the server, check the IP, Port and try again." I did and it didn't connect.
Save for this new app, everything worked before. Nothing has worked since that morning FullContol failed (including the new app).
Is there an answer out there?!

Intego's VirusBarrier X6 was blocking my iPhone's connection.
I saw that the program was blocking attempts to connect and took the address off the Blocked list. I instantly connected through everything again. It turned out to be a major oversight and easy fix!
If anyone else is having similar issues, check your AntiVandal software and make sure your devices are not being blocked.

Help! Files will send with zero bytes!

I have been trying to send files (pdf mostly) through a dropbox server. Every time I try to, they send with zero bytes. Why is this? I have no idea on how to fix it!

Hi,
What do you have in the console log?
Please, try with 1.1.

Network file copy barfs after copying four files

When copying large files, say 350MB, to my windows 2003 server, the copy process usually barfs on the Mac side after 4 or 5 files. This process can be faster if I am downloading or have a steady stream of data coming to the Mac.
All I do is highlight the files and drag them to the windows share. Is there another way of performing a copy?
Anyone else have this problem?

Unfortunately this did not help. Essentially, the network drive becomes disconnected after around 4 or 5350 MB files being copied.

Can't connect to MPD over local network - control [solved]

I have a laptop running Arch Linux. I recently purchased an O2 Joggler, and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a USB drive for it (AWESOME, btw). My idea was to use the joggler as a remote control for my laptop, which is often running MPD to listen to my music collect (I'm also using it for light browser etc.)
However, my setup just now isn't allowing me this. Here are some configs that will hopefully help the diagnosis
mpd.conf:
music_directory "/home/iain/Music" # Your music dir.
playlist_directory "/home/iain/.mpd/playlists"
db_file "/home/iain/.mpd/db"
log_file "/home/iain/.mpd/mpd.log"
error_file "/home/iain/.mpd/mpd.error"
pid_file "/home/iain/.mpd/mpd.pid"
state_file "/home/iain/.mpd/mpdstate"
user "iain"
port "6666"
bind_to_address "any"
#password "mpd@read,add,control"
default_permissions "read,add,control"
log_level "verbose"
audio_output {
type "alsa"
name "Sound Card"
options "dev=dmixer"
device "plug:dmixer"
format "48000:16:2"
mixer_type "alsa"
# mixer_device "default"
# mixer_control "Alpha"
#auto_resample "no"
/etc/hosts.allow:
# /etc/hosts.allow
#ALL:ALL:ALL
MPD: ALL
# End of file
/etc/hosts.deny:
# /etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL: DENY
# End of file
I'm trying to connect FROM my joggler to my laptop which is running MPD. The laptop's local IP is 192.168.1.70.
I know how awesomely useful the Arch user on these forums are (I've need the help A LOT in the past), so I'm hoping one of you clever lot can help me holmes' this problem.
Thanks,

A hint to open a port
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 0/0 --dport <portno> -j ACCEPT. with the port number for eg 8600 is used to open up the mpd streaming for me.(in arno firewall script you can set these in custom.rules. The rules may differ in your case. A search will give tons of options.

Slow Files Copy File Server DFS Namespace

I have two file servers running on VM both servers are on different physical servers.
Both connect with dfs namespace.
The problem part is both servers never have same copy speed.
Sometime very slow files copy about 1MBps on FS01 and fast copy 12MBps on FS02.
Sometime fast on FS01 and slow on FS02.
Sometime both of them slow..
So as usual I reboot the servers. Doesn't work.
Then I reboot the DC01 also doesn't work. There is another brother DC02.
After I reboot DC02, one of the FS become normal and another FS still slow.
FS01 and FS02 randomly. They never get faster speed together.
Users never complain slow FS because 1MBps is acceptable for them to open word excel etc.,.
The HUGE problem is I don't have backup when the slow FS days.
The problem since two weeks I'm giving up fixing it myself and need help from you expert guys.
Thanks!
DC01, DC02, FS01, FS02 (Win 2012 and All VMs)

Hi,
Since the slow copy is also occurred when you tried the direct copy from both shared folder, you could enable the disk write cache on the destination server to check the results.

Allowing user to create link to a network file

Is there a way to allow the user of a form to enter the path to a local network file (such as a Word document), so that when others click it, it will take them to the file?
In a thread in another forum, someone posted the following method of create a button containing the following code that converts text entered into a text field into a hyperlink:
if (xfa.host.name != "XFAPresentationAgent")
    var oURI = xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.header.TextField2").rawValue;
    var oLink = "<body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\"><p style=\"letter-spacing:0in\"><a href=\"" + oURI+ "\" style=\"margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-valign:bottom;font-fami ly:'Myriad Pro';font-size:8pt\">" + oURI + "</a></p></body>";
    xfa.resolveNode("form1.page1.header.TextField2").value.exData.loadXML (oLink, false, true);
This works great for internet URLs; however, when you enter a local or network path (for example "Y:\Network\File.doc"), you get the following error message in your default browser:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (y) isn't associated with any program.
How would you alter this code so that it links to a local or network file, and doesn't try to open it in a web browser? Or, if this isn't possible, is there any other way to allow the user to create a clickable link to a file?
Thanks,
Jo

I've never tried it and there may be alternative ways of doing it, but I would think the only way you can provide formatting tools - without recreating each tool - is to use an Applet.
What you're trying to do is create a document object on the server, have the user select an command on the client side (such as underlining text), have the client pass the command back to the server, and echo the results of that operation, right?
It would be incredibly awkward and impractical to do that through a conventional stateless HTTP medium such as JSPs, PHP or JavaScript. It may have been done before, I'm just not aware of any attempts to do so.
Are you willing to consider alternative third-party solutions, open source or not? Or is this something that you explicitly have to code?

Exporting PDF to Print - Zero Bytes

Hi All,
I am trying to export my brochure design 104 pages. A4 size. It is a furniture brochure so you can imagine there are hundreds of linked files.
Once I have selected Export PDF for Print as I usually do with my flyers and posters, I select the option I believe I need, including the output for bleed markings .etc. but the file does not seem to be exporting.
When I locate my exported PDF in Finder (Mac) Explorer (Windows) it shows the file there but with Zero bytes as the size, I try to open the file and it says the file is empty.
Has anyone seen this before or am I doing anything wrong?
Does InDesign show the progess of the Export? I cannot see anything in InDesign but I'm thinking it could take some time to Export as the file must be very large.
Any help and advise is appreciated as always
Kind Regards
James
