SYMPTOMS

If you change the users' rights on the root directory of the client computer to anything lower than change level, users will get an error when they try to use the FTP command-line utility mget parameter to copy files.

The following is an example of the error:
Error opening local file s2u.
>\s2u.:Permission denied
can't find list of remote files, oops

WORKAROUND

Currently, the only workaround is to give users at least change level rights to the root drive.
