The issue began with I had some perms issues running fpcopy and ran setperms. Seems like the setperms did not run correctly. Fixed all the perms with a correct setperms. But fpcopy still not working. After tracing John & I think that makedir seems like where it's failing. Yesterday I attempted to make a new file and filepro error at makedir so any ideas about that?

I believe fpcopy should be SUID filepro and lib/rename should be SUID root<br>
<br>
I also think I recall a very brief period when the linux tarball included<br>
the wrong cpu version of one of these, like one was 32 bit and one 64,<br>
so I'd check that (see file command) too.<br>

Before taking serious steps to trace this out, We spent a lot of time on the phone, and always arriving at what seemed like an fpcopy that just doesn_t work when all the other executables do work fine. it seemed like a permissions problem, but all appears to be okay in all typical file-related functions.<br>

This is all after employing a much more current/working setperms on the system. <br>

Both he and another _more retired_ gentleman are both very long time FilePro users from the early 80s and capable with _vi_, and have a very good understanding of FilePro, so it is easy to help them out.<br>
