File and folder copying error...

[Trebz]

Hi All

I dragged this out of one of my other posts:

So, i just formatted the 'F' drive and have 70GIG or so to play with.

I created the following folders in order to copy data across from the 'E' drive.

F:\Games
F:\Emulators

Problem: When i attempt to copy / move the contents of the folders on the 'E' drive to the folders on the new 'F' drive i receive the following error from the Xbox file manager:

'An error occurred while moving files. Error Code 2 Would you like to view the log file.'

The log file contains the following:

20:20:36 BEGIN Move Operation
20:20:36 Move FAILED "Root\neogenesis emulator". Error Code 2
20:20:36 END Move Operation

Is this a permissions issue?

The obvious idea is that i store all of my backed up games and my emulators on the 'F' drive as theres plenty of space.

Are you doing the copying / moving from XBMC's built-in file-manager, or via FTP, or other?

You can enable XBMC debug logging under the settings (in the XBMC interface).

was isign FTP to move files but it failedMoving/copying files between partitions directly in an FTP client doesn't work for me either over, and it never has. I do not know if it is a limitation of the FTP protocol in general, the FileZilla FTP server that is built-into XBMC, or the FlashFXP FTP client.

...but you are you not using XBMC's built-in file-manager instead of FTP? http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Filemanager

Like I said, moving/copying files between partitions directly in an FTP client has never worked. It is not a bug in XBMC, (it could be a limitation of FileZilla FTP Server that is built-into XBMC, but it is not a bug), either you use XBMC's built-in file-manager instead or if you insist on using a FTP client then you must copy all the files to your laptop harddrive first then copy them back to the other partition on the Xbox.

Gotcha.
