Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 224692

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Greg James]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

I have a directory shared under simple fire sharing in WinXP. When I download
files to that folder using Firefox or Mozilla, I cannot copy the files using
another computer. I get the message, "Cannot copy <file name>: Access is denied.
The source file may be in use." Downloading the same file to the same folder
using IE does not create this problem. Cutting (CTRL-X) the file, pasting it in
another folder, then copying it back solves the problem. This bug has been
replicated fo rme on two machines using Firefox 0.93 Release, Firefox 9/7/2004
build, and Mozilla 9/7/2004 build.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use firefox/mozilla to download file to shared directory on machine 1.
2. Attempt to copy file from \\machine 1\directory to machine 2.


Actual Results:  
Dialog box appears on machine 2 stating "Cannot copy <file name>: Access is
denied. The source file may be in use."

Expected Results:  
It should allow copying of the file.

The behaviour has been verified with machine 2 being either a WinME or WinXP
machine.
