by default the slimftpd service runs as the apache2triad user , if you experience problems like the ones you described change its service to run under the LocalSystem account

it works fine for me with default settings on win2K SP4 tho' , as you can see below

Hi again,

I'm running win xp sp2.

i looked on the apache2traid user account and it was limited...
so i changed to computer administrator and that didn't help
i killed the progress slimftpd from apache2traid user and started on my user account. didn't help.
i used filezilla and it seemd to work but where its soupose to say what permissions you have to the file its only "d"

is it suppose to be like that?

i try to change the folder permission's and i got a syntax error...
why is that?

here is the log

i thought you meant you can not access the files , not change their permissions via ftp

the file transfer protocol RFC 959 says this
Quote: This command is used by the server to provide services specific to his system that are essential to file transfer
but not sufficiently universal to be included as commands in the protocol. The nature of these services and the
specification of their syntax can be stated in a reply to the HELP SITE command.
about the SITE ftp command

so a ftp command like "SITE chmod 777 filetochmod" is by no means incorrect , however it will not work on windows , because like the spec says , SITE provides services specific to your system , and chmod is specific only to *nix'es

however it is strange that slimftpd isses a "500 Syntax error, command "SITE" unrecognized" because the SITE comand itself is implemented in slimftpd as http://www.whitsoftdev.com/slimftpd/ states that slimftpd is RFC959 compliant

furthermore unfortunately slimftpd responds with a "214 For help, please visit www.whitsoftdev.com." to the HELP SITE command

if you are interested about the chmod issue see FAQ Question #17

See RFC1123: Requirements for Internet Hosts -- Application and Support, page 34, section 4.1.2.13, "Minimum Implementation; RFC-959 Section 5.1." The SITE command is not required to be recognized

Do I have this right? If I have Apache2Triad loaded on a Windows machine, I cannot change file permissions via FTP?

I have to have access to the server itself and use the ATTRIB command or right click on the file and update the properties in the context menu on windows?

Thanks for your help
