Weird X on corner of copied file over the network

i was copying a file from my Mac Pro (Lion) to my MBP (ML) over the network and i noticed this little x in a black box on the top left hand corner of the icon while it was being copied.
does anyone know if this is normal?
the two little red marks mean that the file is a windows file for my virtual machine but i have seen this x before and i was curious to know if this is in fact a Mac OS functionality.
TIA

OK. weird. the files on my dropbox have this weird blue x and then a green checkmark in this spot if i am not mistaken.
so we are saying this is a function of a PROGRESS BAR and it goes away when the copy has completed?
i mean, it did go away over here but i don't remember seeing it before for some reason.
THANKS

I have a script where I copy from my local server ( server1) to the remote server ( server2 ), but I can´t not make script that will copy from the remote server to my local by my session. From server2 to server1
Script is as below ...:-)
HELP : ....

Cannot Copy Files over a network

I've had a new hard drive installed in iMac by Apple, and Apple re-installed the OS, which is running 10.6.7 (all current software updates are installed). The iMac is part of a network connecting to a OS X Server 10.4.10
All of the Network Drives have been connected, the user can copy documents under 1MB to and from the server fine. However if we try to copy files over 1MB the first file will copy fine, but then no more files can be copied to the server from this machine, regardless of the size.
If i use another Mac, with the same user credentials I can copy files of any size without any issues. I have tried connecting to the Network using both the Ethernet port and Airport but I experience the same issue regardless.
If I reboot the iMac I can copy a file over 1MB again and then the symptoms re-present themselves. I have tried creating a users, new network drives, folders etc. I can connect using any user, to any of the new folders from any other machine on the network but not from this one.
When the copying fails Finder just hangs with
Copying "" to "ShareName" rather than having the name of the file, I believe this may be where the error lies.
I have also tried running the App Maintenance from Titanium Software, after running this i can copy files over the network fine, but after I have copied 10 or so files, the situation goes back to not copying files correctly.
Tags:

I have tried several files and also I have copied the files on to a USB Hard Drive and then onto another machine, that machine was able to copy the files over the network.
The Firewall is switched off on this Mac, I have tried various different options with the Firewall, Turning it off, ensuring the AFP connections are allowed.
Also using the Maintenance app, that I mentioned clears the Caches, repairs permissions etc etc

Streaming audio file over the network w JMF. How to know when the file end

Hi
I am streaming audio file over the network using JMF. I want to be able to know when a file end so I can close the streaming session.
Can some one please help
Thanks

If you put a ControllerListener on the Processor that's associated with generating the RTP stream, it'll generate an "EndOfMedia" event when the end of the file is reached.

Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

Good Evening Everyone,
I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement.
Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications.
There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network.
Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close.
PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software.
Thanks,

Try:
Open My Computer.
Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
Select the File Types tab.
Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open.
In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

WIFI dies when transferring big files over the network

Hi, I have Dell Inspiron 1520 with ipw3945 driver, when I transfer big files over the network, my wifi dies, anybody knows what could it be? If you need additional information, feel free to ask...
Thanks in advance

I guess we shall see. I can't imagine we are the only 7 with these issues. Mine is mainly just lag... and overall slowness. I hope to work through this. If it lasts much longer I will have to revert back all 3 of my lappies to FC which I really do not want to do. But on the lappies i connect via wireless 90% of the time and need it to work.
By the way how are you guys configuring your wifi? I am using the iwl drivers and wicd.
Well I did some more testing and loaded up netcfg and still get the same results so that rules out that part. I also did some packet captures and I am getting a bunch of tcp retransmissions followed by tcp segment lost followed by a reset which in turn kills my rdp session (remote desktop protocol). I also went back several versions of the uucode driver and still get the same reults so I guess it seems to be a kernel issue. Back to FC I go. Damn shame...

Bluetooth mouse cuts out when transferring files over the network

Just as the title says: whenever I copy files to a PC over the network (via SMB I think its called) My bluetooth mighty mouse will start getting very jerky and makes is very difficult to move the cursor on the screen. However, my Bluetooth keyboard is comply fine. Both are using Lithium batteries and where just replaced about a month ago. Also, both are in close range...about 2 feet. And it only happens when coping files.
Any ideas?
-Scott

I don't connect to network volumes that often, but I did again today and noticed that my bluetooth keyboard completely cut out (had the "discounted" HUD come up) and then the keyboard would not reconnect until the file copy was complete. I don't know about the mouse as lately I've been using my Microsoft mouse that hasn't been giving me any troubles. (like really, Microsoft and "no troubles" in the same sentence??? lol)

Problem of file association while copying files from the network.

Hello,
I have a network shared folder with Quark Xpress files on it. I own an Imac with MacOSX 10.4.3 where Quark Xpress is not installed but I want to transfer Quark files from this network share to an other.
When I do this, the file association is missing on the copied file. The original has still the Quark icon, but the copied file has a blank icon and when trying to execute it from a mac with Quark Xpress installed, it does not recognize it (?). It's kind of a file association loose.
For information, when I do the same manipulation using a mac with OS9 and Quark installed, I have no problem with the file association in output.
Hope someone had the same situation to help me. In anyway, sorry for my English, I tried to do my best to explain my problem !

Zip the files. Select the files, Finder->File->Make Archive, transfer them, and unzip them using the Finder or Stuffit Expander.

I cannot printany web pages or emails over a wireless home network. My OS is windows 7 and am using an Epson printer. I know I have the home network set up correctly as i can print files over the network.

I cannot print any email or web pages over a wireless home network. I know that I can print my files over this network, just not anything from the web or emails using Firefox. I am using Windows 7 and printing to an Epson.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== when I set up the wireless home network.

The most likely reason for this is that the wrong printer is chosen in the File->Print window.
In Firefox, go to File->Print and click the dropdown box with printer names. Ensure that the correct network printer is selected, then try printing again.

Copying files over a network with Maverick

Anyone else having this problem copying PhotoShop files to a network server?
I get this all the time when copying over an SMB/AFP network.
Mainly as the files aren't in use, aren't open and I've even had to close any InDesign files open with them linked to it as a last resort.
It is so bloody annoying! I have to delete the files it tries to copy to the server, sometimes won't let me as saying they are in use (again!) and have to keep trying to get it to copy, which it will eventually copy over. Wasting sooooo much time in my working day. I'm refusing to update all the opther Mac's in agency until I know it stops doing this.
Anyone any solutions/ideas?!??!

Anyone any ideas??! This is driving me nuts! Every large file this happens. So time wasting. I'm far from impressed with Maverick so far.

WRT54G2 - Help! Copying files over wireless network cripples internet...

Slow access when opening XLS or DOC files over the network but XLSX and DOCX files are fast

I am working with a small office that has 3 Windows 7 Pro PC's. Two of these PC's have shared folders that hold Word and Excel files and all 3 of the PC's have drives mapped to these shared folders. When browsing these mapped drive in Windows
Explorer and double-clicking a file 1 of the computers takes about 30-50 seconds to open any file with a .doc or .xls extension. It opens .docx and .xlsx files in a couple seconds though, it also open PDF files very quickly. The other 2 PC's
have no trouble any any type of file. I have tried many things over the last couple weeks to get this fixed. I have added the file locations as 'trusted locations' in the Trust Center and added a couple Registry tweaks to the SMB/ lanman workstation
and server. 2 PC's are running Office Pro 2010 SP2 and the other is Office Pro 2013, the one having the slow access is running Office 2010. Has anyone come across this problem and have any advice??

Copying files across the network changes their permissions... Why?

Okay, I have several Macs running Leopard 10.5.5. All of my users store their working files in their Shared folders so other people who log into their Mac have access to them so they can make corrections/changes etc.
We also configure the Shared Folder to be shared under File Sharing --> Shared Folders pref pane. The permissions are set there for Everyone to have Read/Write. The problem occurs when a user connects via the network to another users' Mac Shared Folder and copies a file to their Mac. Once they copy the file the permissions change to Everyone Read Only.
My question is why and can I keep the permissions intact?
Thanks

that's how it's supposed to work. a new file is created on the other computer and it acquires standard permissions for new files. this can not be changed.
what you can do is make sure they always copy those files to a particular directory and put ACLs on that directory that give everyone read+write rights to everything in it. For example, make a folder inside /Users/Shared directory. call it, say "sharedstuff".
then run the following terminal command
chmod +a "everyone allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
/Users/Shared/sharedstuff
now everything you copy to that folder will be read+write by everyone even if you do this across a network.

Accessing a file over the network

Hi ,
I need to access a file for read/write operations. The file may exist or may not on another computer in my network. I use the File class for accessing the file. (File f = new File("\\192.23.23.23\file.txt");
My problem is how can I know if I cannot access the file because I have network issues (e.g. The file exists but the network is down so its not accessible) or because the file really dont exist on the given address.
Since File operations does not throw a specific exception Its hard to know the exact reason for access failure.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

Any suggestions ?Here's a complete hack that only uses File that is completely coupled to Windows and the "\\hostname\dir\file..." syntax. This is not a universal solution and strongly urge you not to use it:
public class NetworkFileTest {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      File file = new File("\\\\myhostname\\tmp\\filethatexists");
      if ( file.exists() ) {
         System.out.println("File exists");
      } else {
         if ( hasPathToHost(file) ) {
            System.out.println("File doesn't exist");
         } else {
            System.out.println("No path to host");
   private static boolean hasPathToHost(File file) {
      if ( file.exists() ) {
         return true;
      } else {
         file = file.getParentFile();
         if ( file != null ) {
            return hasPathToHost(file);
         } else {
            return false;
}This just recursively checks the parent to see if it exists. Once it gets up to the host "directory," it will return false if the network is down, or true otherwise.
Remember that there's absolutely no way to check if a remote file exists if the network is down, short of carrier pigeons. This will just tell you if the file might exist.

Parsing file over the network

We are using Xerces implementation of jaxp - (xercesImpl.jar, xmlParserAPIs.jar).
Below is my code:
DocumentBuilder builder = getBuilder();
java.io.FileInputStream fi = new java.io.FileInputStream(�file://c$/config/tmp.xml�);
     org.w3c.dom.Document outNode = builder.parse(fi);
     fi.close();
Inside the tmp.xml is reference to tmp.dtd without specifying any path, just tmp.dtd. The line of code that parses the file throws exception that it can�t find tmp.dtd and it shows me the path where it expects it to be � it is a current user directory. Is there a way of telling the implementation to look somewhere else for files referenced by the file being parsed?.
Janusz

yes, intercept the calls to the DTD and point the parser to the right file:
builder.setEntityResolver(new EntityResolver() {
public InputSource resolveEntity(java.lang.String publicId, java.lang.String systemId)
         throws SAXException, java.io.IOException
    if (systemId.endsWith(".dtd"))
      return new InputSource(new FileInputStream("mypath/"+systemId));
    else return null;
