please correct the typo in the subject line, it should read "path is
inaccessible"

I've reproduced this and it's real. The problem is that SwiFTP runs under an
account
that has limited access to the filesystem. The example given by stanelie uses
the
/data directory.
To verify that it is a permission problem, I ran "cd /data ; ls" from a command
terminal, and saw the output "opendir failed, Permission denied." This implies
to me
that user accounts don't have access to the /data directory.
So this isn't a SwiFTP bug, but an artifact of the Android security model as
implemented by T-Mobile (and possibly other providers).
Thanks to stanelie for filing a report.

I run a custom rooted rom. Other apps I have ask for root when launched, and I
can
grant them that permission once or always at the push of a button. I think the
application has to try to run as root to trigger that behavior.
That option would be great!

That's true, that would be great. I'll plan to implement running as root in
SwiFTP
2.0, due in mid-July. Feel free to file other enhancement requests if you think
of
anything else that would be neat.

Can't access the path in IE or Chrome. Each path name is displayed with a
timestamp,
for example, music is displayed as "12:34 music", if u click the url, it bring
u to
/sdcard/12:34 music/, not /sdcard/music, I must manually type the path name to
access
it.

Changing to "won't fix", I decided I don't have time to investigate and
implement
this, since the majority of users aren't running rooted ROMs. Sorry.

Root users, I have found the solution. Change your folder to /mnt/sdcard
Once I did that I have had NO problems. It runs slower than before I did the
root (not by much tho, hardly noticeable), but I'm running on a G1 (sd card
even has a swap partition) running Cyanogenmod 6 (android 2.2). I'm back to
having full read write access to my sd card without having to turn off my swap
(possibly causing a reboot), and plugging in to my computer to copy files to
the SD.
Lastly, thank you for the awesome FTP server program. I have used it for as
long as I can remember. Keep up the good work. Good luck root users!

Hi Dave,
this feature would be a great enhancement for swiftp.
I found the following description, that looked pretty straight&easy:

-app/
maybe you can rethink your decision?
thx,
