SYMPTOMS
When you map a virtual directory to a UNC path and allow Anonymous Access, you may be able to PUT a file to the FTP site, but the GET command fails.



CAUSE
When handling a PUT command, FTP uses the credentials configured in the virtual directory configuration dialog. The GET command uses the credentials of the user who is logged on. The result is that you can send and delete the file to or on the FTP server, but cannot get it back.



WORKAROUND
On the UNC path that the virtual directory is mapped to, grant the correct permissions to the Windows NT account used for Anonymous Access.
