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
