A share/permission problem. I cannot modify a text file???


On a XP-pro server, I have full read/write permissions on a folder that is Shared on the network.

I can read and write text files in this folder.

BUT, When the administrator writes a file to this folder, I can read the File but can not update the file (which I want to do)


What permission changes can I make to be able to modify this file???


Thanks
Bob Leonard
 
Is the Properties of the relevant text file set to Read Only?

Are the Access Permissions of this text file set to Inherit Permissions from the Shared Folder?

HOW TO: Take Ownership of a File or Folder in Windows XP (Q308421)

Your username would require Full Control, or Modify permission of the file, or be the Owner of the file.
