Error copying file: Error Code 5: Access is denied

[swing42]

Hi, Love this software, perfect for my needs. I have been experiencing
"Windows Error Code 5: Access is denied." thing though and have read through
the previews posts about it. I am mirroring 2 identical USB hard drives, its
quite strange because FFS won't copy over any of the files that are not in
folders (within the hard drive), its gives the error msg below for each file,
but the funny thing is when I move all of the files to a folder (in explorer)
and try again it copies them all fine. Its not a major inconvenience for me to
have the files this way but is there a fix for this?

Thanks

"G:\Ear Training.url" ->
"H:\Ear Training.url.ffs_tmp"

Windows Error Code 5: Access is denied.

This sounds quite strange. I have had reports of this behavior, which turned
out to be caused by different permission settings on the root directory
compared to subdirectories. The root directory did not allow creation of
files, while for subdirectories this was allowed. There are other cases
(online storages) that do not like the .ffs_tmp ending and deny with "access
denied". In these cases it helps to turn off "transactional file copy" in
global settings.

Thanks for reply, still no joy. Have tried "transactional file copy" and
changed the file permissions on the hard drive. Afraid I'm don't really know
what I'm doing with with this kind of thing though so I might be missing
something. I'm happy to keep all files in folders for now but will check for
updates just incase you have any updates.

Thanks
