@hhs2112,

I can replicate it too, but it seems to be due to the share itself.

I've got a USB drive but only SHARE 2 sub-folders. I can copy to those sub-folder but NOT to the top level root of the drive.

====================

C:\>net view \\tp-share2
Shared resources at \\tp-share2

samba server

Share name  Type  Used as  Comment

-------------------------------------------------------------
G           Disk
The command completed successfully.

C:\>dir \\tp-share2\g
 Volume in drive \\tp-share2\g is G
 Volume Serial Number is 061B-373A

 Directory of \\tp-share2\g

09/18/2019  07:13 PM    <DIR>          .
09/18/2019  07:13 PM    <DIR>          ..
09/24/2019  07:33 PM    <DIR>          Pictures
05/12/2018  11:25 AM    <DIR>          share
               0 File(s)              0 bytes
               4 Dir(s)  1,208,233,320,448 bytes free

---------------------------

Now trying to copy to G (which is NOT really shared, and then a sub-folder:

==================

C:\>copy l:\test.txt \\tp-share2\g
Access is denied.
        0 file(s) copied.

C:\>copy l:\test.txt \\tp-share2\g\share
        1 file(s) copied.

===================

Is this similar to what you were trying to do?

@IrvSp Interestingly,what I have now is this. - i can create folders but not files within the folders.  If i drag a folder (which contains files) from my desktop to the tp-share folder the system will return the "Destination Folder Access Denied" error.  However, the folder is created on the USB drive, just no files are copied.  Also, it doesn't matter which directory level I'm at, I drilled down 3-4 levels and still have the same issue.  To sum up, it looks like folders can be created but not files.

thanks

I can copy to the sub-folder from the command line:

=====

C:\>copy con l:\test1.txt
test
Overwrite l:\test1.txt? (Yes/No/All): y
^Z
        1 file(s) copied.

C:\>copy con \\tp-share2\g\share\test1.txt
test
^Z
        1 file(s) copied.

Did you share the whole drive? Maybe you need to re-share it once you added the folder?
