FTP Error when 'Use safe overwrite' is enabled

Post by phpaddicted »

Hi,

I have a problem with FTP transfer.

I am able to connect to the FTP server, see the folders and files
and even change permissions.

But, when I open a file from the web server, modify and try to save it, I
receive the following error (while saving):

Could not complete the transfer.
FTP Error: Can't open that file: Permission denied


This happens only on saving, I am able to open the file from the server in
WeBuilder and modify it.

But, if I go to the FTP general options and uncheck 'Use safe overwrite' I am
able to save the file and no error is shown.

The "Permission denied" error shows itself only when 'Use safe overwrite' is checked
and even when all the following conditions are met:

- Passive mode is checked in the connection settings
- My anitivirus (Nod32) is disabled
- Windows Firewall is disabled

Do you have any clue on the reason why this happens?

Thanks for your valuable help,
Francesco

Safe overwrite option controls how files are uploaded and overwritten. If FTP works correctly when this option is unchecked then leave it unchecked.
