Checked-out files stay read-only

[DMV Guy]

Myself and one other person have been working on a site using Check-In/Check-Out on a Local/Network server (Windows) with no problems.  I added a third person by having him copy the site from the server to his hard drive and set up a Dreamweaver site from there.  He can check files out and the LCK file appears on the server, but the checked-out file stays as read-only.  The result is he gets an error when trying to Put or Check-In.  He can copy and paste the file outside of Dreamweaver no problem, so it doesn't seem to be a permissions issue.   Any clues?

3rd user probably doesn't have permission to read/write files from network server.   Can you change the properties of that file folder to read/write?

We can't get the IT dept to respond.  He was able to copy/paste a file outside of Dreamweaver earlier, but not now.

Yes, that was it.  We finally got it straightened out.
