Error condition: There has been a sharing violation. The source

[Guest]

I have customers on an NT server who get 'There has been a sharing violation.
The source or destination file may be in use' message when they try to
delete/rename or over write files that they own in folders where they have
correct permissions.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Are these questions related to FrontPage? This is a FrontPage newsgroup.

How are they uploading or publishing these files?

Yes. My customers use FP 2000.

They use FP 2000, but the error situation exists even when they go to the
server via explorer, etc.

But, *how* are they uploading or publishing these files?

Hi Guys, just to update you, finally I found a way to solve it
Do you have error messages?, like :

* Path too long
* Error cannot delete file: cannot read from source file or disk
* Cannot delete file: Access is denied
* There has been a sharing violation.
* Cannot delete file or folder The file name you specified is not valid or too
long. Specify a different file name.

For that I tried it with: http://longpathtool.com/

What was the question? you have used a 2006 message to post a solution
which makes absolutely no sense.
