FTP GET does not work correctly on UNC virtual directories (237987)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q237987 SYMPTOMS
When you map a virtual directory to a UNC path and allow Anonymous Access, you may be able to PUT a file to the FTP site, but the GET command fails.
CAUSE
When handling a PUT, FTP uses the credentials configured in the virtual directory configuration dialog. The GET command uses the credentials of the logged on user. The result is that you can send and delete the file to or on the FTP server, but cannot get it back.
