On Windows Server 2003, permissions are not propagating to a group that is a member of a group
- by Joshua K
Windows Server 2003 on i386.
FTP server is running as the SYSTEM user/group.
Some files we want served (read and write) are owned by the group 'ftp.'
ftp has full read/write/whatever permissions on those files and
directories.
SYSTEM can't read/write those directories. So, I added SYSTEM to
the 'ftp' group. Windows happily complied, but even after restarting
Filezilla, it still could not read/write those files.
Is there any way to do what we want without "re-permissioning" all those
files? Running the ftp server as 'ftp' isn't really an option because
it also serves files that are owned by SYSTEM (And not ftp).
Sigh... :)
Any insights?
