Access is Denied Microsoft Sync Framework > SyncFx - SyncToy-File Synchronization Question 0 Sign in to vote Hi, When syncing my laptop to my desktop (Windows XP SP3 on both) get the follwing message: "Error: Cannot Write to the destination file. Access is denied." My laptop will not sync with desktop, but desktop will sync with laptop. Synctoy 2.0 was working great for the previous 4 months , until this error just popped up. No new files will sync over. No system settings have changed over the past month, except maybe a Windows XP update or two. Thoughts?

Here's the background: Desktop (running XP home) and Laptop (running XP Pro) and laptop has synctoy 2.0 and getting cannot write to destination file. With XP SP3, there is a need for a new administrative password (replacing old one, or create a new administrative password: go to control panel, user accounts, create/change password for user) for sync toy to work. Try it! Many hours speaking/emailing with Microsoft on this issue. I can provide email documentation to prove it. In the words of Microsoft tech support, "Cause: new feature in sp3 which make it mandatory to have password validation with user account".

provide me with an effective means to keep files and folders in sync, some of my devices do not run Windows or OS X (e.g. my NetGear ReadyNAS) and I've been using the SyncToy v2.0 tool for data that I just want to copy from one location to another (e.g. backing the file data on the notebook PC that I use for work up to a file share). Unlike FolderShare/Live Mesh, which automatically keep folders in sync, SyncToy is intended for performing https://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ab234d0a-fbd7-4850-b6e1-d8803b566ff4/error-cannot-write-to-the-destination-file-access-is-denied?forum=synctoy on-demand tasks (e.g. backups), as described by Gina Trapani at Lifehacker (and by yours truly a couple of years back when it was still at v1.2). A few days ago, I was echoing the contents of a large directory to a remote share, but was mystified by some files which would not write to the remote volume. I http://www.markwilson.co.uk/blog/2008/11/access-denied-when-echoing-files-using-synctoy.htm had full NTFS access to the files but SyncToy produced an error which said: Error: Cannot write to the destination file. Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) Copying C:\Users\username\filename After a while, I worked out that the problem files all had the read-only attribute set and that removing this allowed SyncToy to copy the files successfully. I can only assume that the problem was the echo (i.e. file copy, rather than two-way sync) and that the file attributes were being written before the file copy took place, resulting in insufficient permissions to write the file contents.

2.1 on a laptop running Vista. My plan was to have a copy of the "My documents" folder on my PC running Windows XP available to use on my laptop and keep the two folders in sync. http://www.busydevelopers.com/article/42792006/SyncToy+error%3A+cannot+write+to+the+destination+file When I have the laptop in the same place as the PC, the computers are linked via a wireless router.In SyncToy on my laptop the Left Folder is the PC "my documents" folder http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/is-freefilesync-better-sync-software-than-microsoft-synctoy-windows/ and the Right Folder is the copy on my laptop.When I run SyncToy, any new files created on the laptop get copied to the PC, but for files that have been changed on error cannot the laptop the error log shows: "Error: Cannot write to the destination file. Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700B7) Copying ...." and then proceeds to show the file paths for the file that has been changed (on the laptop) and the file it would like to overwrite (on the PC).Any advice on resolving this would be appreciated.
