Execute the following commands to create a demonstration directory structure:
Code: Select all
mkdir from
mkdir from\dir
echo. > from\dir\filename
mkdir to
mkdir to\dir
mkdir to\dir\filename
Then, try to copy the “dir” folder from the “from” directory to the “to” directory. Obviously, there is a conflict between the
file called “filename” in the source tree, and the identically-named
directory in the destionation tree. However, the error message presented by TC is “Access denied on file …\to\dir\filename!” (possibly preceded by an elevation prompt with “Error: Cannot write …\to\dir\filename! Please remove the write protection!”).
TC should be able to detect this problem (trying to overwrite a directory with a file, or vice versa) and report a more specific error message.
