Q about transfering files...
« Reply #15 on: 24 May 2003, 01:10 »
I am logged in to the server as my workstation user name and password.

Update 2:
When I log into the server at home, the only folder the pops up is "/".  This folder is empty and I cannot access any other folder.

I just tried to do an annonymous login (no user name or password at all) into the server and I was granted access.  The only folder that popped up is "/" and this folder is empty.  Just like at home.  My guess is that even though I am logging into the server with a valid user name and password, it's giving me the annonymous login privliges.  I just don't know why.  Could it be because when I log onto the server using CuteFTP, I am logging in from within the network?  Could this server change the privliges if it doesn't recognize the IP address of my computer at home even though I have a valid user name and password?

Just tossin around ideas.  Also, I have tried accessing the folder where the files are stored (using "Network Neighborhood in Windoze) and changing the access privliges.  In the properties box, it says that "Everyone" has read/write privliges to the folder and the files.  When I access the folder in CuteFTP and bring up the Properties (CHMOD) box, it says that Owner, Group, and Public all have read, write, and execute privliges.  But when I access the file itself in CuteFTP and bring up the Properties (CHMOD) box, it says that only Owner and Group have Read/write privliges and Public has none.  Also, I tried to change this and it kicks back an error saying the command was not recognized.

Sorry for the length. Just tryin to be specific.  :D

Thanks for the reply, flap!

Well, upon further investigation, the reason that the files are not showing up is because the server is not set up to allow public logins.  Even if they have a valid user name and password.  This is something that only my boss can change and I know he won't waist his time with it so I had another idea: why not set up my Mac at home to be the FTP server and upload the files there from work?  That way I have them when I get home!  :D  Dunno if it will work cause I've never done it before but I will do some research as to how to do it before I ask any Q's.

Thanks for the help and replies guys!
