when you copy files / directories on a pc from a cd to anywhere, it inherits
the read-only flag. is this the case with macs? if so, it may be preventing
you copying files because the directory is marked read only.

Subject: Problems copying from a CD

I was trying to recover some of our archives from a backup CD to a
netatalk share. When I try to copy entire folders at once, it hangs after
few secs with a error message:

"Could not copy files since the destination is locked"

The error message isn't probably exactly the accurate, since we use
finnish version of MacOS. It creates the folders but does not copy the
files. The weirdest thing is that when I copy separate files to the
created folder it works fine. I tried to copy the CD to my harddrive
first without any help. Normal files copied from the hd are working fine.

So is it a permission problem or not?)
