Robocopy permission denied

Question

Robocopy is preinstalled with Windows 7. I've used it many times in the past. I tried to copy a folder to a remote share with

robocopy c:\source "\\server\share\path" /s /r:2 /w:2` 

As a result I get permission denied. Using explorer I can copy files to this share. I've opened a command prompt with administrator permissions with the same result. The share is read/write for public.

[EDIT] I've successfully mapped a driveletter to the share, but robocopy still fails

EDIT I've added the /B switch without success. The exact error is:

2009/09/26 20:43:14 ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Accessing Destination Directory \drobo \Drobo\fotos__NEW\Ericsson\

Answer 1

Have you tried mapping the shared folder to a drive letter?

Answer 2

Have your tried taking ownership of the shared folder? Are you on a workgroup or an Active directory domain?

Answer 3

Try copying files using the Backup flag :

/B : Copy files in Backup mode.

Answer 4

If you use the /V parameter, does Verbose mode give you any other information? The error 5 is usually an access denied message. From a command prompt can you use the COPY command? Does this work with other UNCs or is the Drobo the only one that fails? If so, the Drobo people may be the best place to turn for answers.
