Hi

First Post..new to MSDos

I'm trying to create a new folder using the mkdir command but get the message "Access Is Denied". There is no folder with the same name and I can create the folder if I go in via Windows Explorer.  Same user

I'm trying to install the JAVA djk for a new course I'm starting. I also need to unpack a zip file into the new folder (which I cannot create via dos but created via explorer).

I go back into dos and try to unpack the zip file (src.zip) into the new folder (src) (as dictated in the book i'm using) and I get:

java.io.IOexception: com: COULD not create directory
   at sun.tools.jar.Main.extractFile
   at sun.tools.jar.Main.extract
   at sun.tools.jar.Main.run
   at sun.tools.jar.Main.main

I'm guessing it something to do with same problem I can't use the mkdir command

Also:  IS THERE A WAY I CAN COPY AND PASTE THE DOS SCRIPT!!!!!!? Typing it could take me a while!

Thanks

Please specify your O.S.
Windows 7 etc. and Windows 95 are quite different.

When you reply, above the Post/Preview etc buttons is Additional Options which allows you to ATTACH a file.

Hi Alan_Br

I'm using W7

How do I save the file..I can see only select all which would allow me to paste somewhere. I that what you meant?

Thanks
SteveI cannot see "Select All" unless I right CLICK for context menu options.
You are doing something wrong.

Click on Additional Options, click on Browse, then a small "file manager" will allow you to choose what to attach.
