Pete, Thanks. That got me in the right direction. There is no specific user, so I assume it runs under the local SYSTEM account. When I checked, this account indeed did not have rights. Adding SYSTEM to the affected ACLs did the trick!
Secondary questions: 1. Is this normal for SYSTEM not to have rights? I would think this could cause lots of other services to encounter problems. I'm surprised my server would be set up that way. 2. I don't recall an option to create a specific account for WS_FTP Server. Should I do this instead and run the service that way? What are others doing in this area? -- Randy > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pete Simpson > Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 12:06 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [WS_FTP Forum] Users Cannot Upload > > Keep in mind that while the users are connecting to the > WS_FTP Server and they need a user account in WS_FTP and > WS_FTP server permissions, the file is actually written to > the hard disk or remote disk storage as the User that the > WS_FTP server process is running under.
