Files coming from OSX unable to be deleted.

Post by JamesRG »

Hi,

We have an issue that has been ongoing for awhile but I was only just informed. When a Mac user uploads a file to the WingFTP server (Windows Server 2012 box with local storage/ WingFTP 4.5.5) A large majority of them are unable to be deleted by either the Mac user or the windows server admin they are using the built in FTP client for Mac. The only fix seems to be moving the files/folders to another drive and back again, this allows the windows admin to delete but the Mac users still cannot.

All the file permissions seem correct and if we copy the file to another directory it can be deleted without issue.
We had a couple of issues where the cause was a trailing or ending space in the file name but however none of the current files show this, was this issue identified or bugfixed in a later version?
I can find no mention of a similar issue in the changelogs.

The version 4.5.5 is very old, please upgrade to the latest version first.
