SMB File Transfer: Using With OS/2 LAN Server



I have a large installation running PC LAN servers, and I want to connect via
Apple's TokenTalk NB Card and use SMB File Transfer.

When I tried this , I got locked out because the installation had recently been
upgraded to OS/2, which has additional privileges required by the OS/2 LAN
server (LAN Manager).

I could see the directory on the server, but it wouldn't show any files. Can
you give me any information on how to set privileges under an OS/2 LAN server
that will allow the use of the TokenTalk NB Card and SMB File Transfer?

First off, when adding SMB File Transfer Utility users to the OS/2 server,
remember to identify them as DOS users.

If no files or folders appear in the AFE window for any directory on an SMB
server, there are three possible explanations:

- You have no access privileges for that directory.

- There are no files or folders for that directory.

- SMB File Transfer cannot determine your access privileges for the
directory volume. If this is the case, SMB File Transfer assumes that
you have no access privileges for this directory.

To determine access privileges when communicating with the OS/2 LAN server, SMB
File Transfer requires that you have all privileges (A) for the directory to
which you connect or, at least, one file exists in that directory.

If you do not have the required privileges, the network administrator must
create at least one file in the directory to which users connect. This file
will give SMB File Transfer the information it needs to determine your access
privileges.
