posted November 1, 2004 3:08 PM Hi, I'm not much of a developer but looking at some end solutions for autherized, secure file transfers between clients and one server. If you can help with a basic question: Question: Is the ftp traffic only between the server running PowerTCP FTP and the FTP server specified and not the client and the FTP server? Problem: I setup the (trial) PowerTCP FTP sample app which works up to the point of Uploading a file - I get "Access Denied" error. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. David |

posted November 1, 2004 3:20 PM Since you ask this question: "Is the ftp traffic only between the server running PowerTCP FTP and the FTP server specified and not the client and the FTP server?" I am assuming that you are writing a web page that will be accessed from another machine. If that's the case then an upload would consist of the data from the file first being posted to the Web server, which would then take that data and send it to the FTP server as a file. The access denied error is probably occurring because the user does not have rights to the file. |

posted November 1, 2004 4:12 PM Tony, Thanks for the response. I didn't set the Write perms on the FTP server - once I set that on I could upload files on the sample app. With the upload test I could confirm, as you state, how the data flows. Our FTP server was locked down to respond only to a single IP address, that of the web server. We have a fairly robust https autherization/athentication system that I want to leverage for ftp - this product looks like I can do just that. thanks, David |
