There are two machines in LAN. Machine A & Machine B.
On machine A, folder A is shared. I am copying that shared folder A from machine A to machine B. After copying few files, I got following error.
Error Copying File or Folder
Cannot copy clAccess: Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.
Machine A is in ideal position, no one application is using file clAccess.
Then how can we resolve this issue?
I think you don't have write permissions on the destination folder.
If you can, get ownership of the destination folder, and grant yourself write permission.

suppose the IP address of my FTP server is xx.xxx.xx.xx and i need the output file to be stored in D:/example. I need to esnure that the path i give is in my FTP server. How can i include that in my fopen function, like a path which points to the example in my FTP server.
Generally speaking, this is how it goes:
there's a database server
there is a directory on one of its disks
that directory will be used in create directory command which creates a directory, Oracle object
it will be used as a target for your file-related operations. For example:
it'll contain CSV files which are source of external tables
.dmp files, result of data pump export, will be stored there (the same goes for import)
UTL_FILE will create files in that directory
All that means that your idea of creating a file on a FTP server might not work just as easy.
However, there's a way : if you create directory (Oracle object) using UNC (Universal Naming Convention) which points to a directory on the FTP server, the file might be created there. Do some research about it; I know I once did that (put files onto an application server), but that was long time ago and I don't remember everything I did.
Another option you might consider is DBMS_SCHEDULER package. Suppose you create a file on the database server (which is the simplest option; if you do it right, it is more or less trivial). Once the procedure (which creates the file) is done, call DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB using the executable job type and call an operating system batch file that will copy the file from the database server to the FTP server.
That's all I can say about it; at least, you have something to research & think about.
I'm looking for a one click solution like a vbs or batch file which would copy 2 csv files from my local machine to a remote server on a particular location. This is primarily what I'm looking for.
Also, I would like to know if the same is possible if my account is not added into the server users list (I don't have access). Is there some way by which just that particular location will be shared?
You can try and share the specific folder on the server with your network. After that go to your client and open up the explorer. navigate to 'computer' and on the bottom you should find your network ressources. right click and add the server with his IP address. If done correctly you should have access to the servers folder as if it was one of your client. So you should now be able to create a desktop shortcut to the servers folder and be able to add files to the folder by drag & drop. Of course now you could write a simple batch file that copies all the contents of one of your folders to the servers folder.
I need to move sql database backup files between one server to another server. Both are on different domains and my user permission levels are different in the two servers. I'm able to copy paste the small files between these servers but files more than 1 GB are not copying with the error message: "Unspecified error". The problem is i'm not able to Copy the files using robocopy or xcopy because from the source server it's not able to read the destination directory and vice versa. Any way to fix this issue?
Windows 2008 R2 - Kernel (System Process PID=4) is locking files and folders for a long time.
For example when deleting a file, the file may remain locked for 1 minute or more and only after that be deleted.
On another occasions I encountered files or folders I could not delete. ProcMon showed that the System Process was holding a handle to those resources for a couple of minutes and then released them
None of the resources I mentioned were system resources, only files and folders installed be me and handled by my applications.
As Dani has already mentioned in the comment:
It's a bug in Windows 7 and likely in Windows Server 2008 (possibly 64bit versions only). It surfaces when you disable Application Experience service.
Re-enabling this service has fixed this problem for me.
A bit more info here as to why it's causing a problem.
List of other SO questions which seem to be related:
Visual Studio output file permissions?
Under which circumstances does the System process (PID 4) retain an open file handle?
Files accessed through a share will be locked by the system process (PID 4).
Try opening compmgmt.msc -> System Tools -> Shared Folders -> Open Files to see if the locked file is listed there
See also the sysinternals forum for a way to replicate this.
Not all applications lock files when they are opened, Excel however does...
In my case, it was fixed by a simple command in the command line:
net session /delete
I hope that helps.
Hope this helps others.
open windows run and lauch mmc.exe
File -> Add or Remove Snap-ins --> Shared Folders --> localcomputer
Select Open Files scroll down to the directory or file and right click to close.
You can also get the username that has the lock and go to sessions and right click --> close session.
In my case it was MacOS 10.13 holding file locks open...

I had this issue when trying to rename a folder. I had to stop the server service while performing the rename. Just restarting didn't help, as the system process re-locked the folder as soon as the server service restarted.
Make this and resolve the problem:
Go to Services and activate Application Experience.
Tried all these...
Even copying the file, deleting the original, renaming copy to original name (all on server) would immediately tell me the user had it locked.
In the end -
used Unlocker to clear the file locks.
Copied the file OFF THE SERVER to a desktop.
Deleted the original file off the server.
Changed the filename of the copy on the desktop.
Renamed it back to the original name on the desktop.
Put the file back into the original location ON THE SERVER.
HTH, YMMV... :)
Had this issue just now whilst trying to replicate data to a new file server (both source & destination servers running Windows 2008 R2).
PID 4 was found locking the file (using procexp as above), but Application Experience has never been installed on either server & the file was not shown in the list of open files.
Fortunately we use scheduled shadow copies on this server (to enable users to self-serve most file recoveries). I just used the Previous Versions option (available through Properties of the containing folder), selected the most recent copy of the file & copied it to somewhere else, then deleted and replaced the problem file.
You might need to delete the containing folder to delete the file - which could be a problem if lots of files in use obviously (this wasn't an issue for me given this was the only file in the folder).
For a one-off issue like I had (single locked file for the whole server drive), this worked without any disruption to the server or users.
Given you are talking about a server & that Shadow Copies are using VSS - you should be able to recover the locked file from your backups (presumably you have these) if you don't use Shadow Copies. Otherwise there are some useful utils like ShadowSpawn (https://github.com/candera/shadowspawn) around that might help.
I am trying to run a batch file to copy a backup file from one location to other.
I keep on getting the error:
Invalid drive specification
My path is as follows:
\\server\drive:\folder\folder\folder\*.bak drive:\folder\.bak
That typically doesn't work out too well. You'll want this:
cp \\server\C$\folder\folder\folder\copy.bak C:\folder\copied.bak
This presupposes that you actually have access to the folder \\server\C$\folder\folder\folder from your box. If you do not, then you need to configure permissions correctly on the server to give you access.
You only have access to administrative shares (\\server\C$ <- the $ denotes an admin share) if you have administrative rights on the server. If you don't you need to actively share the folder in question, i.e. on the server, navigate to drive:\folder\folder\folder and share it (context menu of the folder, menu item Sharing and Security). Note that you need at least temporary admin rights on the server in order to create a share.
Do not forget to configure the permissions for the share you create, so that the limited account you are using for the copy process has read rights.
Once this is et up, you should be able to copy the files using
Copy \\Server\NewShareName\*.bak c:\folder\.bak
If you have problems with the files being in use by another process, have a look at robocopy instead of the copy command.
