Cannot get FileTransfer to work no matter what

peter maddin · Post by **peter maddin** » 2005-09-23 02:20

I am using viewer on XP Pro to server as application on Win server 2003. UltraVNC 1.01 on both. File transfer is always denied on the remote server.

I have tried it reversed, with the server running on XP Pro and the viewer on WIN server 2003.

Same problem. Always "File transfer permission denied on the server"

File transfer is enabled and user impersonation is off. I am not using Require MS Logon.

I have checked the registry settings and
they are

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default]
"FileTransferEnabled"=dword:00000001
"FTUserImpersonation"=dword:00000000

for both machines.

Apart from the File Transfer not working, everything is else is great!!:sad:

Not sure on this one. Are you loging in the an account that has rights to read ,write and execute the directory you are copying to??

The login account running the server has full admin privileges .

So has the one running the viewer but I thought that did not matter.

If you run it as a service it still does not work and that is running (I believe) as Local System which has full rights to the local file systems.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ORL\WinVNC3\Default]
"FTUserImpersonation"=dword:00000001

did you try to change value to 1 for FTUserImpersonation ?
stop service and then restart-it !

I find I have to run:

winvnc.exe -servicehelper

Before I can transfer files. I don't know why this is but it works for me. When you install ultraVNC it adds that command to the HKLM\Run setting in the registry. Perhaps this is why you can only transfer files once you log into the PC.

Thanks but adding -servicehelper did not work. It would not even start. I set logging on and got a mutex error. Rebooted to clear the mutex and it still would not start ??!!

I am using XP Pro SP2 to Win Server 2003.

I am using UltraVNC viewer 1.0.1 (on XP Pro Machine) with UltraVNC Server 1.0.1 (Win Server 2003). I Thought the latest versions would work.

I tried using MS Login but I get an error dialog stating that auth.dll could not be found on the Win Server 2003. I searched the machine and it does not have any such dll. It has dsauth.dll plus a few others.

MS Login is no good in any case because remote clients will not want to give us win authenticated access they would want us to use VNC authentication only.

I have played with single click and it looks good baring the fact that FT just does not work.

I see posts dealing with not being able to pass directories and including some extra dlls but I would be happy just to transfer 1 file.

If I have time I will play with a W2K workstation that I have here. It might be a Win server 2003 issue.

I will use e-mail to hanlde file transfers

. At least that works most of the time.

File transfer works for me with single click. I dont know why, but just last night I was helping a friend using it on dial up. I needed to send a file and thought it wouldn't work but it did much to my surprise. Have you tried it?

You should be able to run and use most of the functionality of UVNC with just the winvnc.exe executable.

Directory transfer is INOP as far as I know. I've removed the lines of code from the source I've been working on all together.

Previously I had installed vesrion 1.00 and downloaded and installed the upgrade to v1.0.1.

I uninstalled this and downloaded version 1.0.1. setup, uninstalled the upgrade and installed version 1.0.1.

I now have file transfer working between XP Pro SP2 , W2K SP4 and Windows 2003 server both with the normal server and SC.

I had to add a new rule to the firewall settings on W2K machine but everything is now working.

Peter, to make this work, did you also start to use servicehelper?
