#561 cp: Permission denied (when copying to a network drive)

[YuGiOhJCJ]

Hello,

1) Copying from a local drive to a network drive gives me an error.

But if I repeat the command again and again until I have no error, then the copy is correctly done.

See here:

C:\test>cp -rv a Z:

cp: cannot create directory `Z:a': Permission denied

C:\test>cp -rv a Z:

cp: cannot create directory `Z:a/aa': Permission denied

cp: cannot create directory `Z:a/ab': Permission denied

cp: cannot create directory `Z:a/ac': Permission denied

C:\test>cp -rv a Z:

cp: cannot create directory `Z:a/aa/aaa': Permission denied

cp: cannot create directory `Z:a/aa/aab': Permission denied

C:\test>cp -rv a Z:

2) Copying from a local drive to a local drive gives me no error.

Typing the command one time is enough.

See here:

C:\test>cp -rv a b

a' ->b'

a/aa' ->b/aa'

a/aa/aaa' ->b/aa/aaa'

a/aa/aab' ->b/aa/aab'

a/ab' ->b/ab'

a/ac' ->b/ac'

3) Copying from a network drive to a local drive gives me no error.

Typing the command one time is enough.

See here:

Z:>cp -rv a C:

a' ->C:a'

a/aa' ->C:a/aa'

a/aa/aaa' ->C:a/aa/aaa'

a/aa/aab' ->C:a/aa/aab'

a/ab' ->C:a/ab'

a/ac' ->C:a/ac'

4) Copying from a network drive to a network drive gives me an error.

But if I repeat the command again and again until I have no error, then the copy is correctly done.

See here:

Z:>cp -rv a b

cp: cannot create directory `b': Permission denied

Z:>cp -rv a b

cp: cannot create directory `b/a': Permission denied

Z:>cp -rv a b

cp: cannot create directory `b/a/aa': Permission denied

cp: cannot create directory `b/a/ab': Permission denied

cp: cannot create directory `b/a/ac': Permission denied

Z:>cp -rv a b

cp: cannot create directory `b/a/aa/aaa': Permission denied

cp: cannot create directory `b/a/aa/aab': Permission denied

Z:>cp -rv a b

Conclusion: As the case 1) and 4) give an error, I think that the "cp" command has a bug when copying to a network drive.

Any idea how to solve this problem?

Thank you.
Best regards.
