Problems after moving programe out of windows 2000 1

[alan28]

I have been developing a intranet site for a company. I worked on the site at the company that uses windows 2000. Now when I have the site on my own computer, it say's I don't have permission to change my files.

I was loged on as an adminstrator on the windows 2000 network at the company. Is there a way round this?

What's your computer running?

If its NT/2k/XP, just take ownership of the folder containing the site files (and all its subfolders/files) and then give yoursef full permissions.

Sorry I should have said it is windows 98 I am using.

I have changed the read only box and that does not work.

Sounds like you need to access the files on a win 2k/XP/NT machine when you are logged in as admin. Then you need to take ownership and grant the everyone group full control of the files. Once put back to a fat32 partition (windows 98) you should have access!

Don't understand this. When you say 'have the site on my own computer', what do you mean? (I assumed you meant you'd copied it to your machine). Are you actually accessing it from your machine or is it on your machine?
There is no third party password protection involved?

Sorry, I have not explained it very well. The site is not published yet. I spent time working on the site at the company's location that uses windows 2000. I then burned the site on to disk and worked on it at home(on windows 98).

I am using ultradev 4 for the design and database development. Ultradev is not letting me put my files on to my testing server(PWS). I think this is caused by me not having signed in as an aminmstrator in windows 98(as I did in windows 2000).

Make sure the files aren't set to read only. When you burn to a CD then copy to a harddrive, the files are set to read only because that's the way they are on the CD.

 

[alan28]

That was the first thing I thought about.

 

[Davetoo]

Ok. I've learned to always make my first question "Is the power plugged in and the machine turned on?".

 

[wolluf]

So its Ultradev that's causing the problem (which as win98 has no file security, it must be). So, have you just tried logging on as Administrator in win98 (its easy enough to get it to show a logon screen if not one currently)?

Have you read the Ultradev help/visited their site/FAQ to see about security? (I know nothing about Ultradev).

No I never thought of that - Good idea.
