FP2002: You Cannot Copy an MSN Community Folder into a Web Folder
This article was previously published under Q292689
When you attempt to copy a Microsoft Network (MSN) Web folder to a Web folder on a server running SharePoint Team Services from Microsoft, you receive the following
Confirm File Replace dialog box:
This folder already contains a file named "
xxx".
Would you like to replace the existing file
0 Bytes
with this one?
0 Bytes
date and time
If you click
Yes, or
Yes to All, a "Copying" message appears, but the folder is not copied.
This behavior occurs because you are trying to copy a Web folder, which is only a shortcut to a location. If you
open a Web folder, you can copy any files or folders in the Web folder.
When you try to copy a Web folder, the folder itself is not copied, but a shortcut to that Web folder is created.
When you try to copy a Web folder and paste it into another Web folder, you are trying to place a shortcut to a Web folder into another Web folder, and the attempt is unsuccessful.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions
- Microsoft SharePoint Team Services
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
