hello to all, heres my problem. I installed ftp on my w2k sever a couple weeks ago, I remember seeing a permission wizard while I was setting up ftp services on the server. Now, from no where I can not access sub folders in this certain folder even when I use the > administrator account. I get this error message f:/sample/test is not accessible access is denied. Even when I try to take ownership of this folder(using the admin account), when I get to the end of the process(taking ownership) I get the same error message f:/sample/test is not accessible.... .Since this problme has accured I have uninstalled ftp services, check for virus, etc. I have even tried to grant users & groups permission to access the main folder and still I get the same error message(when I try to grant permissions to users & groups for the sub folders I get the same error message).
can anyone help me please I need access to these folders

TIA

If the folders in question are confined to your FTP site you should check for posix filenames (names that contain normally illegal characters, trailing spaces or reserved words like com1:)

Run a chkdsk.
Try working one folder at a time until you get to the error.
Make sure your admin account is not a member the guest group.
Try using Cacls from the command line instead of the gui.
