Hello ,
Could you please double check this ? I hope I am very wrong !
PLEASE make a copy of the file you are about to test !

In one account create a file under the POSIX name space and do a chmod 777
to be able to read this file from another account.

Log on to a different account . open a ftp session to the other account
(please stay on the same machine). do a get (or an mget) of the file you
created. Please check whether the file made it to the new account and
whether the file is still in the original account.

Thanks



This is what happened to me - I think I lost the
