cant copy _some_ network files to local disk
When trying to copy files from my NAS drive to my local disk, exe, zip, and pdf (and other types) will not copy. I get a popup titled "Item Not Found" with content that says "Could not find this item". txt files (and others) will copy just fine.
Sounds like firewall or AV or permissions right? I've turned off the Windows Firewall and turned off Windows Security Essentials and still have the problem.
I can copy the files to a local USB memory stick, and then to my local disk, with no problem (except for having to go through the intermediate step of the memory stick). I can also _open_ some of the files (Reader for .pdf, WinExplorer for zip (and can even copy files from the zip to the local drive!) and run .exe’s). But some files won’t open either (like .docx or xlsx), showing similar error popups.
Some pdf files (and other types of files) on the NAS drive will copy OK. If I move WontCopy.pdf to the same dir as WillCopy.pdf (on the NAS), it still won't copy to my local disk. If I try to _copy_ WontCopy.pdf to the same dir as WillCopy.pdf (note: copy vs move), it will not copy to that NAS location but gives same error.
If I look at the properties of the two files (willcopy.pdf and wontcopy.pdf) they look virtually identical. Owner is "Everyone"
This is a very fresh install of Win7/64 home (with all updates (including SP1)). Another older computer has the same problem, but it also has a fresh Win7/64 install (by me). The NAS is a Synology.
Any thoughts?
