Strange file copy problem
-
Hi
I'm sure this is an easy one but it has me temporarily stumped. I'm trying to copy a file from a Windows server to a folder on the user's desktop but NSFileManager's copyPath:toPath:handler method won't do it.
The strange thing is that I can open the file on the server and I can also write files to the exact path I want to copy to (such as writing a dictionary with [dict writeToFile: path atomically YES]) but no go on copying from the server to that path.
Does NSFileManager's copy method work cross-volume?
Here are two example paths for reference
sourcePath = @"/volumes/Windows Server/a folder/a subfolder/source_file_name"
destPath = @"/users/a_user/desktop/a folder/dest_file_name
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyPath: sourcePath toPath: destPath handler: nil];
Result: copy fails
Any help appreciated

I've used it across volumes.> Here are two example paths for reference

Use the handler parameter to supply an object that implements
fileManager:shouldProceedAfterError: and investigate the error.

Well I tried your suggestion which returned the following
{Error = "Couldn't open"; Path = "FMG-DATA/CON-PAG/TEMPLATES/AA_template"; }
Only thing that looks different is that NSFileManager seems to be lopping off the "volumes" part of the path. Other than that, It's correct.
I checked the permissions and I have read/write access to both the source and destination folder so It should work... -

This is just a guess, but: Have you checked the case of the file
names? Some file systems are case-sensitive.
