making files available offline

[steve]

I'm running Windows XP Professional and I am unable to
make my files syncronize. The errors I get for every file
are "Unable to make <filename> available offline on
<servername>. Access is denied." The server is running
2003. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Hi

You could have a rights/ownership problem on the target path (or it could be
something else). Have you looked in the event log to see if it is reporting
anything?
