Re: Windows Service Cannot Move Files

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Please verify both the share permissions and the NTFS permissions. I had a
similar problem and my share permissions were wrong.

It is a domain admin account, and has also been given all rights on the
folder in question.

Are you sure that the account has write access to the directory and
files?
Sounds like it only has read access.

I am using the full network path
The windows service can see the original files, it just cannot rename
them

Any ideas?

Watch out for using mapped drive letters. These are done on a

(like //corp_server/datadir/targetfile.txt) and see if that helps.

That isn't the problem
It uses a notify filter, for last write and then delays

This works fine using exact same code from a Windows form
application
(just doesn't work when I change it to Windows Services
Application).

hi dermot

I think you are trying to get the files while they are still used
by
the tcp.

You should allow some delay. When a file arrives do not assault
it !

Place a timer and make an attempt every half second. You will see
some attempt will eventually succeed. Can place a limit to the
number
of
attempts and log the possible unsuccesses.... let me know

Mike,
I actually changed the account that starts it to a domain admin
account. It can see the files (which the local system could
not) -
however it cannot move the files (gets the access denied
message)?

The services is running on a win 2003 server machine.
Any ideas

Regards,
Dermot

In w2k and
XP there is a network version of the system account you can
use.

I have wrriten a small windows service application in
visual
studio
.net 2003 which listens for incoming FTP files.
These files would overwrite over time due to duplicate file
names.
However any time the windows service tries to rename the
file
(using
flFile.move(source,destination)) it gets an error saying
access
is
denied.

The files are on the network, so we though the local system
account may
not have access
We tried changing the account the service uses to a domain
admin, but
still got the same error.

The application runs fine as VB windows form

Any ideas, why windows service cannot do the same.

Many Thanks
Dermot French
