Downloading to a SAMBA volume...

[KennyR]

I've tried many times to download to a Samba mounted drive on my Amiga, but it doesn't work with Amiga samba. It seems to be unable to make the 0 byte files to begin with and add to them. Just a limitation of Amiga Samba, and not something I think you can ever work around.

I am using AOS3.9 BB2 Genesis, and IBrowse2.3 on an A3000D
with X-SurfII

The only thing I can think of as to why this won't work, is because the router gets confused with the destination of the IP packets (Ami or PC)??

It's nothing to do with IP packets, it's just that Amiga samba doesn't like the way IB2.3 writes to files. It doesn't work. It worked with 2.2, AFAIR.
