I have my first Samba server up and running. It is on my network at work and I managed to configure it using SWAT. My problem now is that sometimes when I try to copy files to the server using win2k and XP (I am at work) I get an error stating: cannot copy path is too deep. What the heck does that mean and how do I fix it?

Keep in mind I am a self taught newbie and have only been using Linux for 6 months.

I have seen a message like like when doing file transfers over a network. I think it's like this

//This/path/may/be/to/deep/or/too/many/subdirectories

//Where/this/path/is/fine


I would see how many subdirectories you are working with and reduce them if possible. There may be a limitation to the depth of the path..

Can you do file transfers with Win9x

Don't have anything runing 9x. I tried limiting the path, but maybe it needs to be smaller. Thanks
