Re: [hylafax-users] How can I copy the .tif image file of the fax to a local directory?

[Andy H <a.hassle.spam@xxxxxxxxx>]

In FaxDispatch, I was able to use mv instead of cp.  CP always bonked for me.  And I had to chmod the $FILENAME prior to attempting the move.  After the initial move, I was able to cp the file within FaxDispatch without a problem.  Not extremely efficient but functional.

you could also make the symlink from your home dir to the hylafax dir
and skip the copy process
