write permissions

Hello,

I'm developing a software that has to write a result on a .txt file located in a server of my company.

In the server folder, my account has read and write permissions. But when I run the software I created with Visual neo Win, running on the PC where I have access to the server, my program can only read but not write. Why does this happen?

Thank you

Good time! Try the NeoFM-FTP plugin (SinLios).

Help for the plugin is here.

Thanks for the advice.

I don't have to transfer a file but I have to do an "Append" on a .txt file on the server.
Could this plugin still do for me?

I haven't tried it, but maybe it can be done with the fmSendFTPCommand?

@nikyred,

Take a look of:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ftp

It has always been in all versions of windows and does the job like a charm...

@nikyred,

Another simple way to append a file is using PHP

Check this webpage:

How about this ? ...

a) use fmConnectLocal and fmConnectRemote to establish your connections on the PC and Server

b) use fmCopyFrom to read your file on the server to [TempDir] on your PC

c) use FileRead (or FileToVar) to read the contents of this file into a variable

d) use FileWrite to rewrite the contents of the variable to the [TempDir] file (specify "Append" for "line number parameter")

e) use fmCopyTo to upload the updated file in the [TempDir] to your server location

That's all :-)

Hello,

I would guess that there is a right problem.

Have you tried to run your Exe "run as administator".

In the past I had no problems to write to log files on a server.

And which OS version?

And what kind of server? NT-Server?

And show your code line which fails.

Regards

Hans-Peter

Thanks everyone for the replies,

My NAS server doesn't work in FTP, so I can't work with the suggested Plugin.

I haven't tried running the app as an admin, I will try and give you feedback.
Thank you

I tried running the application in administrator mode but I can only read the file but not write.

If I try to write the file manually I can do it.
my account has read and write permissions, but the application can't write.

Hi.

Does your NAS have SMB service activated?

Also, File Service for Microsoft Networks must be enabled.

Can you access your folders on the NAS with your username? For example: \\NAS_FILE_SERVER\My_Files

Try copying a file: Copy "G:\Backups\Today_Files\*.*" "\\NAS_FILE_SERVER\My_Files\G_Disk\Backups\Today_Files"

Greetings.
