Season Greetings all, ha...hic..py holidays. I recently set up a temporary FTP (WAR) server on a clients machine for a remote user to pass data to. Everything worked fine when I did a dry run from a remote site(here) using the intended user's UID & PW. However, just received a call from client stating that there are currently trying to upload about 500MB of data (multiple zips and/or rar files) and sender is receiving "550. Access Denied" errors on about every 1 out of 3 files. Problematic files are not currently open/in use; similar files from same directory are uploaded fine. I've installed same server here and configured it the same. Using a whole directory's contents I encounter no errors when transferring (but note, I'm ftp'ing into a localhost, here). Logged into client's site as admin (could not log in as intended user as he was connected at the time, and I'd restricted users to one login per session) and experienced no problems with any xfers. Server is on a Win2K pro system; remote user using '98. Permissions appear to be in order and receiving site has the capacity to store the expected MBs. Anyone have any ideas as to what is the cause of this problem? TIA Ian Carmichael The NOSPIN Group is now offering Free PC Tech support at our newest website: http://freepctech.com
