Hi,

I'm not sure about windows but on unix you have to have access to each
directory (folder) in the path you are requesting in order access the object
(file/other directory). The point being to restrict user access you set
permissions on the directory and can leave the individual file permissions
alone.

Hope this helps

Andy

Subject: Access is denied.

Hello i am using libcurl library to download files from ftp server.

My program works in that i can connect and download files from many
different servers.

Recently i need to get files form a new server but it has odd permission
issue.

i need to get files from the following folder

ftp2.xx.org/Uploads/Private/XXFinancial

but i don't have access the folders Uploads or Private so i need to go
stright into ftp2.xx.org/Uploads/Private/XXFinancial

But when ever i do that i am getting Access is denied. as error message.
The password and user name is right since i can get SmartFTP etc to work.

Note i can connect to ftp2.xx.org on it own eg no folders given.

I server is running Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).

Here is smple code i am using

const std::string url = GetUrl(); //
ftp://ftp2.xx.org/Uploads/Private/XXFinancial

  THROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_URL,
url.c_str()));
  THROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_USERPWD,
m_usernamePassword.c_str()));

  THROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl,
CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, 1));
  THROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_NOBODY,
1));
  THROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl,
CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, CallbackFunction));

  if (!m_useEpsv)
   ACTIV_THROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl,
CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV, 0));

  if (NULL != m_pCurlLogFileHandle)
  {
   HROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_STDERR ,
m_pCurlLogFileHandle));
   THROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_setopt(m_pCurl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE ,
1));
  }

  THROW_RESULT_IF(CURLE_OK, !=, curl_easy_perform(m_pCurl)); // i don't get
CURL_OK here
 

Many thanks
