Files not visible after copy between 2 XP pc's in simple nw

Question:

When using 2xExplorer for copying files between 2 XP PCs in a simple network the files are not seen after copying (also not via the simple "my computer" icon). When giving an identical copy command there is an overwriting warning indicating that they are present!

Copying via another interface gives no problem.

How can this be?

It sounds like the 'view' is not being refreshed automatically.
Try Ctrl+R, with the active pane being the one which is 'missing' the content.
Or, in the treepane, try the following: collapse & re-expand the node in question to force 2x to refresh its cache.

see FAQ #2
autorefresh problems was one of the main reasons i started work on xplorer2

there you'll find that network autorefresh works properly!

well - the autorefresh doesn't work on clicking to a bespoke directory via the "my computer" icon either then....

I'll try xplorer2....

I'm a 2x Explorer Light user since long time and I have to report same problem. As I understood when we copy files from our pc to another one in a local network 2X Explorer create a temp file inside our pc.
I had experience, during copy of a big file size (400 Mb), because of not enough space inside my HD, the copy was interrupted: at the end my HD was full and unfortunately it was not possible for me to see this temp file (it is hidden I think!) in order to remove it. The solution was to restore my pc "image" (fortunately created just few days before).
Please, in this case, do you how to recover and remove this file? Is it possible to copy the files directly through the network avoiding this trouble?
Many thanks in advance

as i said this is a bug with 2xExplorer and XP
i have stopped developing 2x but you can try the free* xplorer2 lite which should work fine

I read the answer in another post (very sorry for this!).
Now I'm trying Xplorer2 as you suggest and is working fine.

Many thank for your help
