First log: Which mount points do you have configured in the server?

Second log: Which client are you using? Looks like it is outdated.

Mount Point- Screenshot attached.
User(Test_VL) is using WinSCP to connect to this mount point.
For quicker resolution can we connect over a call.

Please update the server to 1.2.0

According to log1.PNG you are attempting to list "/" but according to the mountPoint.PNG there is directory mounted at "/"

Make sure to access "/test_FTP" or add a mount under "/" if you don't want to configure the initial path in your client.

comment:6 by Healthvue, 3 years ago

As per the instruction mentioned given initial path as "/" ,attached in screenshot. But still facing the same issue as mentioned in pervious chats.

Updated FileZilla to 1.2.0 version.

Calls are not archiveable and not searchable.

Does the Windows account the FileZilla Server service runs under, SYSTEM by default, have permission to access the target directory?

There are few users who are able to access the folders which they are permitted to access. But most of them are not able to.

We have all the permissions set to the SYSTEM account.

I noticed a similar flaw which perhaps explains the problem: when I save the configuration Filezilla Server remove some "/" from the native PATH:
for example I write
10.10.0.126\ftp_dream\Dream\dreams\UPLOAD
but, when I apply it save
10.10.0.126\ftp_dreamDreamdreamsUPLOAD causing the same error reported here.. it could be an explanation, however it is a mistake to correct

comment:13 by Healthvue, 3 years ago

As commented by Marco Peroni, this issue exists for other users as well and might be a software bug. What is the workaround for this and a permanent solution for the same?

comment:14 by Healthvue, 3 years ago

Any information on the workaround for inaccessibility of folders and files shared via FileZilla?

comment:15 by Marco Peroni, 3 years ago

this is only a workaround: I opened the configuration file, corrected the path string adding the slashes mistakenly removed by the software bug and restarted the service... but this is only a temporary workaround because if you modify the configuration and save again you have to repeat the workaround. We hope that the developers will provide a patch to fix this flaw
