Account problem: some players becomes "what ???"

[Cricetopeloso]

Hi, I've just read every topic delaing with acount problems but I've never found the answer for this question:
Preamble=I always play in the server that I manage with my friend that has in his pc the UOX3 files and the server standed up.

It happens that he wiped all things (mading a mistake) and now, that he restored all files, including the shared, the server doesn't recognize the players.

Now I've tried to do something different, because I want to make a package of the UOX3 files, mounted by me, with players and other things into the world, and pass these files to my friend.
I explain better: I made my world, with every kind of alteration and (most important thing) some pg yet created and living somewhere in the world... (the pg in my server works perfectly)... then I want to zip this file, send it to my friend and hope that everything works.
The problem is that even though the shared files are the same, when he (my friend) goes to create the server, everyone that login into his account (with the pg inside), the account doesn't recognize the pg and wants that the player makes a new pg, but the pg (really) is in the world and the admin (me or my friend) can see it in invisible mode !

So, how can I do this thing? How can my friend restore all pg into every account after moveing these files in an other pc ?
We've tried in every way, but without success.

Thank you for the answer.
Have a good day, bye !

I usually send my server mirror to my friends since I can't port forward on my computer.

In order for a server to work perfectly, the minimum of these directories need to be sent:

shared= contains world file
books = contains data on all PC books
accounts= contains the player account data (this is what I believe you are forgetting to send).

The zip file should be small. we are running a 40MB+ shared file and it zips to 1.8MB easilly.

The zip file that I send to my friend conteins everything setted correctly, from the contacts directory to the shared, from the dfns to the books... everything, but the problem consists of something that I can't identify.
It's just like the server (or who for him check this) doesn't recognize the right folder after changed the directory.
In fact, passing to my friend my zip file containing all files setted by me, the directory change (from C:\Documents and Settings\Cricetopeloso\Desktop "for example" setted in my pc to C:\Doc and Set\PincoPallo\Desktop setted somewhere else)
