Hi to anyone who is reading this...

I am running IIS6 on win2003 server, using W3C Extended logging.
One of the fields that is logged is cs-method, which I believe is the client-to-server client action request.

My question is: Does anyone know the difference between "sent" and "created" client action requests?

The reason I ask, is that whenever the "sent" command is logged, no file has been received by the server (even though a filename is logged along with sc-bytes, which suggests the file was sent to the client - impossible, because we have never had the file in the first place).

Whereas whenever "created" command is logged, the file has been received. In both cases the username/password is correctly authenticated. The only difference I can see is that CWD (change working directory) command is rarely used before the successful ("created") transfers.

It looks like a client issue which I won't be able to investigate. Any background info would be much appreciated, as I've found nothing useful elsewhere on the web; thanks in advance.

Trev
