For clients connecting via DCOM an upload and download folder need to be specified.

 

note

For share- and security-permissions: we recommend removing permission sets for all users/groups EXCEPT administrators.

The permission settings described in this tutorial apply to Windows Server 2012. Note: In Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2, the Read and Write permissions under the advanced security settings need to be specified individually.

 

The Upload Folder

 

1.The upload folder must be a shared folder. Under the advanced sharing permissions:

 

oAll Thereforeā„¢ users require Change and Read permissions.

oThe user account running the Thereforeā„¢ Server service requires Full Control.

 

2.Under the advanced security settings for the folder, disable/stop the inheritance for the listed entries. This will delete the default permissions.

3.Then add the Thereforeā„¢ users and specify the following settings:

 

oFor Files only, the Thereforeā„¢ users require Write permissions. This includes Create files/Write data, Create folders/append data, Write attributes and Write extended attributes (Note: In Windows Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2, these need to be specified individually).
