Laplie Anderson commented on VFS-531:
-------------------------------------
Still happens on 2.1-SNAPSHOT downloaded today. Here is the new stacktrace:

{code}
I also found something else out, giving *execute* access, {{chmod 755
/home/usera}} fixes the issue. Write access to that folder is not needed.
> Cannot "copyFrom" without access to create parent folder even if folder exists

> Using copyFrom when you don't have access to create the parent folder fails

> I have the folder structure of:

> 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

> 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.)
