Log Files Access Permission

#1 Post by CrimpOn » 2021-10-03 00:39

I installed version 1.0.1 of the Filezilla server using my normal, non-administrative, Windows account. I start the server from the Start menu in my normal account. Using the Filezilla administration program, I am able to set the location of log files. Yet, when I attempt to open any of the log files, I get the message "You do not have permission to access this file"

I must change to the Windows admin account or open a text editor with "Run as Administrator" to open the file.

Is this REALLY the way Filezilla server was intended to create log files?

Thanks. I was confused that I can start the server without using an admin account, but not access log files.
Appreciate the quick response.

Logfiles could hold confidential or personal information, nothing everyone should be able to access.
