Gary Gregory commented on VFS-531:
----------------------------------
Can you download and build trunk to see if that still happens? We hope to
release 2.1 soon.
> Cannot "copyFrom" without access to create parent folder even if folder exists
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: VFS-531
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-531
> Project: Commons VFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: Laplie Anderson
> Original Estimate: 24h

> Using copyFrom when you don't have access to create the parent folder fails
> even when the parent folder exists.
> I have the folder structure of:
> /home/usera/subfolder
> Userb has r/w access to the subfolder and read access to the parent folders.
> CopyFrom with a destination of "/home/usera/subfolder/file" fails
> {code:borderStyle=solid}
> Caused by: org.apache.commons.vfs2.FileSystemException: Could not create
> folder "file:///home/usera/subfolder".

> It looks like the issue is that the code doesn't check if the destination
> folder exists before calling create. Create throws an exception any time the
> folder is not created (even if it didn't have to create the folder.)
