files won't transfer properly through FTP

[gib999]

Hi,

I have an FTP service running through IIS 6.0 on my Windows Server 2003 Web Edition server in my office network. I finally got the FTP service to connect to remote computers, and file uploading and downloading seems to work. There's just one problem: once any file is uploaded, it's contents are empty. It's size reads 0 KB and when I open it (on the server) there's nothing there. TXT files show no text, JPG files show "no preview", HTML files display nothing, etc.

Incidentally, I discovered that some of the more complex files sometimes upload partially, like a Word or Excel file, and report an error in the middle of the transfer. Here's a snippet from the log file when I tried to transfer a Word document:

Anybody know what the problem is?

Do the users have permissions to the location on the file system that the files are being uploaded to?
