However after you have waited 5 years, the filecopy works fine (and is fast)

778138 2009-06-02 01:52:00 I haven't looked at it in detail, but IIRC WHS allows you to set up a web server - don't know about an email server though. WAyyyyyyyyy back in pos #20 - I put some links - This plugin for WHS (www.whsplus.com) - allows you to run outlook from WHS. not so much as a server by the looks-- the description explains it better. wainuitech (129)
778139 2009-06-02 07:56:00 ok i got it working! i dont know how but its working

EXCEPT some files wont copy across. I get the error "Invalid Argument"
Doesnt seem to be on any particular files types

How are you trying to copy the files, is this from the command line or from Nautilus? What is the exact error message?

just from nautilus, athough ive tried a coupe of others now (konqueror and dolphin)

and its all good now

Im pretty sure it was whs having a fit. the dying hard drive must of corrupted the stuff that wouldnt copy so i ran the whs repair on it and all seems fine now

thanks for all your help

one more thing, how do you install "Thunar"? from what ive read it sounds the ideal file manager but i cant figure out how to install it, it doesnt show in synaptic

778141 2009-06-02 09:04:00 I dont believe I 'm giving instruction on Ubuntu-- Must be the drugs I got today :waughh:

Just looked in Ubuntu 9.04.

Click on Applications > Add/Remove > Middle drop down box up top, select "All Open Source Applications" > in the Serach to the right of that, type in Thunar, <Press Enter> >> there it is, tick the box. Click Apply.


More drugs time :D

I'm sure you already know this, but you need to deal with that dying hard drive ASAP.
