Re: MGET command deletes files



Interesting, but I can't repro the error. I'm using IIS5.1 to test :)

have a file called file.txt
at c:\inetpub\ftproot
and c:\

My user was denied full control on the file c:\file.txt
while everyone full control for c:\inetpub\ftproot\file.txt

I then ftp. make the localpath at c:\
then mget file.txt
ftp> mget file.txt
200 Type set to A.
mget file.txt? y
Error opening local file file.txt.
> file.txt:Permission denied

then open windows explorer. the original file.txt still exist - no changes,
and I can't open it as well.
open the ftp log file, no sent /file.txt 226 was recorded.

Can you double check and ensure the user doesn't have any permissions on
local \\destination\folder2\file.txt
