Use the Terminal
Authored by: Anechoic on Apr 25, '01 09:41:01AM
This problem seems to be fairly common with both Classic Netatalk and Netatalk-ASUN. It was also a problem with the Public Beta. I am running Netatalk-ASUN on a Quadra 650 running NetBSD 1.4.2. I'll try using an older version to see if that helps. A workaround is to use the Terminal. After connecting to the server using the "Go" menu, fire up the Terminal and
cd /Volumes/YourServer.
You should then be able to copy files back and forth between your machine using the cp command. Herb

Check the FAQ that comes with the tarball

In the faq from the latest release (1.5.5 at time of writing) there are suggestions as to how to fix many problems with OS X and Netatalk by using the --with-did=last argument on configure. The problems I'm getting are things like when accessing folders, all seems well but as soon as I select a file it seems to point to a completely different file. I.e. I think I'm copying a photoshop file but when the copy is finished I end up with an mp3 from a completely unrelated folder but with the name of the item I was copying! Does anyone know how to 'rebuild' Netatalk's 'database' as it were?

Another nice argument to use is the --enable-srvloc which works well with openslp to allow server discovery in non appletalk networks.
