Files not copied from hot folder when source folder is local System Folder

anjani

Hi,
I have MediaBin Hot Folder Editor installed on my system and it's working fine but there is one condition when it's getting failed.
When i am putting the one shared folder on my local sysetm as Source folder (File System Folder ) and the destination folder as one Mediabin folder, then it's not copying the files to MB Server.
I have cheked the log file and it's giving this error:-

Connecting to the FILESYSTEM Source Folder: \\Bangasin13\Images_add.
[12/27/2007 6:55:45 AM]: ERROR: Could not connect to the FILESYSTEM Source Folder.
[12/27/2007 6:55:45 AM]: Reason: The directory name \\Bangasin13\Images_add is invalid.
[12/27/2007 6:55:45 AM]: -------HotFolder Not Started

Also the Mediabin Server and my System are in the Same network.
Is it mean that Source folder can only be the shared folder on MB server?


Thanks in Advance

Couple of things:

1.) Make sure that the UNC path is tied to a globally accessible physical path. By this I mean, the share \\Bangasin13\Images_add should not be tied to something like a specific user’s desktop (such as C:\Documents and Settings\msnider\Desktop ) or to a specific user's temp folder (such as C:\Documents and Settings\msnider\Local Settings\Temp) since those folders are only available to that user. It should be a global directory such as C:\Images_add .

2.) By default the Publication Service is set to run under the Local System accout….which may not have the correct permissions on the share. You may need to change this to a specific domain user (such as the user that is running the MediaBin server service) and then ensure that user has been granted at least read\write access to both the share and it’s physical directory.
