Hi,
I'm having trouble consistently uploading to HFS. When the home page is loaded, you have to login with user ROOT. If you browse to the upload folder, you have to login with user UPLOAD.
This weekend I uploaded two small .txt files (on separate browser sessions) with no problem from my sister's house.
Today from work I tried to upload some files and the upload would start and go but then would stop and never finish. When I got home I saw in HFS:
<date> UPLOAD@<IP> Requested GET /<uploadfolder>/
. . .
<date> ROOT@<IP> Upload failed, Not allowed: <filename>
I tried again from within my home LAN and got the same failure. (Except one time it worked when I used the browser's URL history to get straight to the upload folder, logged in as UPLOAD and it worked.) I don't understand how it worked from my sisters house!
I created the account UPLOAD and it is listed in the user account dialog.
I set the ROOT account by just right-click on the home folder in HSF -> Set user/pass (that is, user ROOT is not in the user accounts dialog).
So, it seems that user ROOT is actually making the upload request after logging in to the upload folder as UPLOAD, and ROOT doesn't have upload/write rights.
How do I give general restricted access to the site, but restrict upload access to the upload folder to only a super set of users? Or, should this work and there another problem altogether?
Thanks,
Justin
