Error message - cannot change attributes - cannot find path

I struggled for a few days to synchronise my notebook with the server.
From server to notebook was ok, but notebook to server direction was blocked.
I have been using VV Pro for a year, and have had only joy to date. I changed notebooks last week (wich included a change to Vista).

Thanks to the tip "flag the 'copy directly to the destination file' " in one of the discussions, I resolved this block. VV is back online!

On reflection, I should have deduced this problem. When I manually dragged and dropped a file to the destination in VV, it seemed to be OK with the copy of the file to 95% completion, but then changed its mind, and came with the error message. i.e. it could not change the temporary file name to the actual file name!

Voila, disable the temporary file option, and it works.

What is the risk with a direct copy?

I too had this problem. I would get errors on all hidden, system, and read only files. The log file said "coulnd not change attributes ... Access Denied" Selecting Direct copy works great. I have a NAS (LaCie 1TB Ethernet Big Disk) but there not not much to it. Don't know what else I can change on it.
