FTP can't upload/create directories more than 2 deep. Jeff Shultz

iis ftp: Okay, new Win2003 Server install. FTP running in Isolation mode - which does
work.
I've got a problem (that I also had in non-isoloation mode).

I'm trying to upload a website to an FTP user home directory, which is also
the website root directory.

I can upload all the root directory stuff fine and all the root+1
directories are created and populated, then the root+2 directories. But when
I try to either upload anything to the root+2 directories or create root+3
directories in them, I get an access error, basically questioning if I have
write permissions.
Using the IE 6.0 drag & drop FTP this comes up:

FTP Folder Error

An error occurred copying a file to the FTP Server. Make sure you have
permission to put files on the server.

Details:
200 Type set to I.
227 Passive mode entered (IP,IP,IP,IP,185,170)
550 db_filename.jpg: Access is denied.

Anyone have any clue what is going on... or is this just an "everyone knows"

Mmm... double check the permissions on root+2 and +3
try again via ftp.exe

I haven't see this before.

Bernard,

It looks like the user account didn't have it set up to propagate
permissions down properly. Fixed that, it works now. What seems weird is that
it let me put in the root +2 and root+3 directories - I would have expected
it to stop after +1.

Anyway it works now - thanks for the cluebat to the head.

Also, check the length of the full path. Is it more than 260 characters?

Restricted character strings, such as .com or .exe in the path can do
this, as well as unprintable ASCII characters in the path.
