If you cannot upload files or create new projects, the problem here is usually a user right problem on the folder where files are uploaded. All files uploaded to the 3f Software Planner are placed in individual folders found within the "3fUploadDownload" folder located in the main installation folder of the 3f Software Planner.

 

Background information:

For each client and project, a new folder is created where all files uploaded in the project are stored. The 3f Software Planner uses a special user account when it uploads files or creates folders (which happens when a new project is set up). Normally, the Internet Guest Account user is the one used (IUSR_Name_of_your_server). The user rights for this user have become corrupted or changed, hence, new folders cannot be created nor can files be uploaded.

 

Resolution

Modify the security of the "3fUploadDownload folder" folder found in the 3f Software Planner 2006 installation directory and grant the IUSR_Name_of_your_server "Modify" and "Write" permission.
