copying files to 2003 server

Hello!
Can someone tell me why I can't copy files to any of my 2003 servers? When I
connect to a share on the 2003 server and try to copy a file I receive the
Access is denied error- Make sure disk is not full or write protected and
that the file is not currently in use.
I'm sure it has something to do with permissions but I can't figure it out.

Any help is appreciated!

By default, Windows 2003 server gives everyone 'read' permissions to shares
that you create.  This differs from Windows 2000 server where it gave
everyone 'full' permissions to the share.

Go to the directory that you shared from your server and check the share
permission properties.

Do you mean NTFS permissions?

Nope, the share permissions.

There's two sets of permissions when you connect through a share, the share
permissions and the NTFS permissions.  If the share permissions are left at
the default of 'everyone' having 'read' then it doesn't matter what the NTFS
permissions are, no one, even admins, will have anything greater than read
capabilities when connecting through the share.

You can either set 'everyone' to 'full' or better yet, grant your individual
local groups permissions to the share (keeping in mind that between the
share and NTFS, the most restrictive permission between the two will apply
to any specific group).
