Mac queerness – Can’t copy P2 Card over network
Hi,
This topic was brought up a few weeks ago,
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/193/868434
but that thread seems to have died and it didn’t help me sort this one out.
I followed those tips and did a fresh install on my PowerBook and set up a new admin User with a different name and password to the MacBook Pro.
Problem is…I have a full, locked 8GB P2 Card in the PCM slot on my PowerBook G4 ( OSX 10.4.11 ). I have an ethernet cable directly linking that to my MacBook Pro ( OSX 10.4.10 )with a CalDigit eSATA array attached.
What I am trying to do is to copy the card across the network to the eSATA array using the Finder. ( I know this is not recommended, I am doing some tests and experiments!! )
Every time I try this I get the error message “You do not have sufficient privileges to do this”
I am logged on as the admin user on both machines. I have the eSATA array mounted as a network drive on the PowerBook. I have selected ‘Ignore Permissions on this drive” on the CalDigit. ( Tried it the other way too. )
As a test I tried copying the card to the Drop Box in the Public Folder on the MacBook and that works fine. I also tried copying a regular old Quicktime movie from the PowerBook to the CalDigit and that worked fine.
I also tried copying from a P2 Store attached to the PowerBook instead of the PCM slot – No.
I have enabled Personal File Sharing and AppleTalk in the network Prefs of both machines.
There seems to be soemthing about the locked files on the P2 Card that won’t let me copy it.Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
I’m gonna try figuring out P2CMS and see if copying using that helps.

I love responding to my own posts!!!
Anyway, an update.
P2CMS v1.1.9 has saved the day. After trying many different ways to achieve my netwok copy and running into Mac OS Permissions queerness at every turn, P2CMS cuts through the bulls**t!
Copies across the network to wherever I specify and then Verifies it. Good stuff.
It’s taking me approx 9 1/2 minutes to copy and verify a full 8Gb card ( about 7.2Gb actual data ) across a direct ethernet connection. -
By way of clarification, are you able to copy other files (not from the P2 card) from the Powerbook to the eSATA drive connected to the Macbook?

“As a test I tried copying the card to the Drop Box in the Public Folder on the MacBook and that works fine. I also tried copying a regular old Quicktime movie from the PowerBook to the CalDigit and that worked fine.”
Yeah, other stuff copies over fine, just not a P2 Card, and I could copy the P2 Card to my Drop Box but nowhere else – queer indeed.

Probably a Fat-32 dos issue with the cards- don’t think this is going to go over a network. Stick with a direct connect.

It really seems like this is a Permissions / Sharing setup thing.
The card will copy over the network to a Drop Box on another machine fine. Whatever the Permissions or settings are for that location ( the Drop Box ), I’d like to be able to setup an external drive or location of my choice the same, and then copy to that location. Like making a ‘Drop Box’ called my P2 Rushes on my media drive that I can copy to over the network. -
Hit Apple-I on your drive and in the “ownership and permissions” section make sure that owner, group and others can read and write on the drive and hit the button to apply to enclosed items.

I have used P2 Genie to copy P2 cards across our network with no problems.
