If in the process of trying to access files across the network, the files become inaccessible. Or, if the folders are accessible, but the directory contains the message "folder is empty", even though the files actually exist, then ownership of the files needs to be taken first.

 

        On the file's machine, first cd to the directory containing the files,
        and take ownership:

        >> takeown /R /F *

        then reset all of the file's permissions:

        >> icalcs * /T /Q /C /RESET
