How do I debug a command that returns File/folder open error [1003]?
Robo-FTP returns File/folder open error [1003] when a script command references an invalid file or folder path or when the current Windows user account lacks sufficient permissions to complete the file or folder operation.
If the command returning this error does not specify the complete path of a file or folder, try inserting the WORKINGDIR command on the row immediately above the row that returns this error. This will help you determine where Robo-FTP is attempting to create, access or delete the file or folder.
When checking permissions, be sure to check the file or folder privileges of the actual Windows account that Robo-FTP was running under when the error occurred. For example, a script installed to run as a Windows Service may be running under the Local System account so it is unable to access a network share.
NOTE: Systems using UAC (User Account Control), introduced in Windows Vista, may see different effective permissions for a particular running process than those assigned to the user account (this applies to accounts in the administrators group that are not the specific Administrator account).
