Thanks Paul I tried WebDrive and it works perfectly. It looks like a very cool product. I'm a little reluctant to totally blame Microsoft because their web folders do work correctly with Apache mod_dav. There seems to be some difference between Zope WebDAV and Apache mod_dav. There is some security related update to WebDAV in the release notes for service pack 3 for Win2k (which is fairly recent) so maybe that stopped it working with Zope.

Hi all

I'm having a weird problem trying to use Zope WebDAV with Win2K / IE6. I've seen others with similar but not quite the same in the archives.

I create a connection in 'My Network Places'. Everything looks good initially, I can copy objects in both directions but when I try to download the same object a second time I get a Windows popup titled 'Error Copying File or Folder' and text 'Cannot create another system semaphore'. Uploading multiple times works every time.

Zope is on port 8080. I also have WebDAV running on Apache with mod_dav on port 80. That works well with the same Win2K client. This had me thinking it was a Zope problem but ...

I can connect to http://zope.org and download objects from the root multiple times okay. This points to my particular Zope installation.

I get the same result with two different servers running Zope and two different Win2K clients.

Zope Version: (Zope 2.5.1 (source release, python 2.1, linux2), python 2.1.3, linux2).

Any ideas?

Not seen that problem.

You might try the evaluation vesion of WebDrive http://www.webdrive.com/ to see if it also has a problem. In my experience WebDrive has never failed me whereas many combinations of Windows+IE+WebFolders have.

Any chance you could be persuaded to analyse the differences using a packet sniffer like Ethereal?

It'd be really nice to actually have Zope would with Webfolders...

I'll give it a go. I've never seen or used Ethereal but I had a quick look at their website and it looks like something I can handle. It might take me a few days to get to it.
