Re: Issue with creating FSFS repository on network drive

Dear Stefan, Thanks for replying quickly. I totally appreaciate it. >You don't have all the required permissions. 'write permission' is not >really defined. You might be able to create folders.

I am able to do all this using Windows explorer. But does that mean that Tortoise SVN has the permissions too, how do I check that. I believe I am using linux samba server that comes embeded with the drive. >you're lucky I already started writing an answer before I read that. >Usually when someone writes the word "ASAP", I immediately move that >mail to the "respond later" folder, or I delete the mail right away - >that depends on my mood.

But I run a very lost cost solution to share/archive/version files in the home network and don't have a spare machine to run the server that can be access by 2 laptops. Please respond to this email at your convenience. Again thanks for your reply.

Define "write permission" please. Try to keep your definition below 5 pages. You don't have all the required permissions. 'write permission' is not really defined. You might be able to create folders. But can you also create files? Can you move those files? Can you rename folders/files? Can you change the permissions on those files? Can you change the attributes? Can you delete them? > Does anyone else have the same problem, if so can you please help, I > need to get this up and running ASAP. you're lucky I already started writing an answer before I read that. Usually when someone writes the word "ASAP", I immediately move that mail to the "respond later" folder, or I delete the mail right away - that depends on my mood.
