I have a Unix script that is run under an application. Basically, this script
routes it's input to another file in a particular directory/folder, to make
an backup of it. However, this directory/folder is a mapped network drive on
another Windows machine. It seems though, that this is specific to XP, as
this same script works when it runs on a W2k Pro/Server machine.
What happens is the 'test' of the directory (/dev/fs/W) always fails, and
thus nothing will get copied. Strange thing about all of this, is that from a
KSH prompt (SFU's korn shell), I can do a 'cp filename /dev/fs/W' command and
the file will get copied, as I can see it when I browse to that mapped drive.
Again, this only happens on an XP Pro machine, running SFU 3.5. It works
fine if the machine is a Win2K with SFU 3.5.
Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks.
