I am using Filezilla server and I've created a user with all privileges on specific folder and sub folders, but unfortunately, when LIST some directories it shows that the folder is empty even though it is not, and even though I have full privileges on this folder!

the following is the log from FileZilla Server

Please note that I have tried several FTP clients, with the same problem. Is it possible that File sharing in windows may effect the ftp connection in some how?

Test1: I tried to move all files inside the inaccessible directory to another directory with the same name exactly and then deleted the old folder, and then it works! is it possible that there is some configuration from windows to restrict the access to that delete folder? any way I still have some inaccessible directories (other than the solved one).

  • So try to upload a file to the directory and then do an LS command and see if that uploaded file is listed. If it is but the other files are not, check the security attributes of these files from the server to see what the different may be at this level. Perhaps the Service account has restricted ACL permissions on the files that were CUT to this mailbox location and retained their permissions where they were cut from whereas a newly uploaded file to this will show you have the ACL permissions should be set so the FTP accounts with access and the FTP service security can access, etc. Commented Sep 1, 2016 at 14:18
  • when I try to upload Could not write to transfer socket: ECONNABORTED - Connection aborted from FileZilla Client logs, so I can't upload any files, not making new directories (just in some folders) I don't know whether the Names may have any impact? Commented Sep 1, 2016 at 14:22
  • Check whether you have it setup for active or passive and connect with the client via that same method. Ensure you have applicable ports opened up for your configuration as well. Commented Sep 1, 2016 at 14:31
  • Ensure the user that your FileZilla server is running as has proper (write/create) access in the folder that's acting as the FTP root, as well as any sub folders that may already exist. Commented Sep 1, 2016 at 14:33
