hi,

ive been working this out all day. searching the web, but no luck..

and i cant find the solution...

does anyone know how can i make this work?

$source = "\\\asecasianas2\\ds_keying\\commonfolder";
$target = "\\\asecasianas2\\ds_archive\\commonfolder";
$x = scandir($source);
$j = 1;
//$x = scandir("c:\\commonfolder");
//print_r($x);

echo "List of Files:" . "<br>";
foreach( $x as $i ){
    if( $i == "." || $i == ".." ){
        //echo $i . "<br>";
    }else{
rename($source."\\".$i, $target."\\".$i);
//copy("c:\\commonfolder\\$i", "d:\\commonfolder\\$i");
echo $j . " file was move : " . " " . $i . "<br>";

Ah permissions, what a lovely topic!

 

The problem most probably lies (through experience no less) with the user being used to access the specified folders. You will need to find out which user is actually making the requests to those folders, and then give them the modify permission. Of course this isn't going to be easy.

 

If the folder is already readable through your script, then the user should be in the permissions list. Assuming you're running windows (from the c:\), right click on the folder which your script can already read from on the other server, goto the security tab and look at the list of users. If you're using IIS it would be Internet Guest or something similar, on Apache, I think it's the user running the script.

 

It all depends on which user is requesting the interaction. Across a network, it could be a guest account on the local computer (the other server) or even your own account across the network. Hopefully this should give you somewhere to start, let us know how you get on.

 

Good luck!
