Discussion of bugs and problems found in Altap Salamander. In your reports, please be as descriptive as possible, and report one incident per report. Do not post crash reports here, send us the generated bug report by email instead, please.
This issue occurs when attempting to write (create folder on target, copy file to target) to a shared compressed drive across a network. Returns error message "Error:(5) Access is denied".
Permissions are set correctly for the shared filesystem.
Windows Explorer carries out the operations correctly.
Salamander version: 2.5.1
Source machines tested: Windows XP64 Pro SP1, Windows XP Pro SP3
Target machine: Windows XP Pro SP3
Target filesystem: Compressed, unencrypted, NTFS.
This problem should be fixed in prepared version 2.52 beta 1, please test it and if you still can reproduce this problem, I'll look at it. 2.52 beta 1 will be released in week or two.
Since the original post I've looked into this and determined the cause the problem; a confluence of factors present in my machine environment. I suspect Salamander was behaving correctly given the circumstances.
