Re: user account for ftp task

I created a user and granted it the login locally and login as a batch file
rights. Then I had to grant the user read permission on C:\ and the file I
want copied. It seems to me I don't want this user to actually login.
Why does the task scheduler insist on being able to login locally?

Thanks,
Jack

It seems you may have to create a seperate account for this task.

When I try I get: An error has occurred for task xyz. Error message: The
specified account name is not valid.

I tried using the SYSTEM account. The server is windows 2008 64bit.

Thanks,

Hello Jack,

I am not sure what you meant, but if you need it to run only as a
service then you need to use buitin service accounts...

a service?

Hello Jack

It might be a good idea to create a service accounts with password
never expires and give the necessary rights that is required for task
to run,, I used system with blank password in my environment schedule
tasks

Hi,

I have a scheduled task in windows 2008 that ftps a file from one
server to another. I was prompted for a username to run the task
under. For testing purposes I used my account but that won't work
long term. So should I use a system account (NETWORK SERVICE for
example) or should I create a user for this task. If I create a user
what rights would they need?

Thanks,
Jack
