permitions?

[erik burggraaf]

Hi guys, what is this garbo?  This afternoon I tried to transfer my  
web site to my macbook from my windows laptop and got the following  
error berried in an obscure object in the copy window.
"some of the items did not coppy.  You do not have permition to coppy  
all of the items." and an OK button.  Actually there were about three  
of these and I had to get rid of them one by one.  So, why do I have  
permition to copy some files, but not others of the same types?  More  
importantly, how much of the data I've backed up hasn't gone through  
because it's decided to tell me what to do with my own files?  Even  
more important still, how do I make this behavior stop?

Thanks,
Erik
