Bug - FT to root on Vista and win7

Post by pgmoney »

The problem is trying to write the !UVNCDIR- file to the root of the drive. Vista/7 allows creating folders without elevation but not writing files.

The solution is to redirect incoming zip folders to temp then extract them to the target.

Right now for testing I have it redirecting everything to temp, including files and zip folders then it automatically moves the files and folders to the destination. It isn't a very efficient way to do things but it's working ok as a proof of concept.

I'm not sure when I'll have time to finish up the code, probably sometime in September so I figured I'd post what I have found in case anyone wonders why file folder transfers to the root of c: drive on Vista and Win 7 don't work.
