Release lock on file
Hello,  
Sometimes, but it is rare, if communication fails when user is uploading a picture file to the server, that the file stays locked.

How can I release the lock on that file so the user can retrieve to upload it?

Here is the exception thrown when user tries to upload a file that is locked on the server:

Using *Process Explorer*, I can see the file is locked by CompleteFTP process:

![](https://enterprisedt.com/questions/?qa=blob&qa_blobid=1250895504687523126)

I already tried to restart CompleteFTP server using *CompleteFTP Manager* without success.
We identified a scenario where locking could occur, and released a fix in version 13.0.1. If anyone is experiencing this issue, please upgrade to 13.0.1.
Hey [@Snapm2r](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/468609), 


 


Thanks for getting in touch on the Dropbox Community about this issue!
 
Seems what you’re experiencing is due to the connection to our server being blocked or interrupted. As a first step, I’d recommend having a look at your settings locally, since it seems like an [antivirus](https://www.dropbox.com/help/syncing-uploads/stuck-syncing), firewall, security program, [proxy](https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/connecting-through-proxy) or VPN is blocking the Dropbox desktop. Can you make sure that these steps are [followed for the configuration of your firewall](https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/configuring-firewall) if you’re on a working environment and that the domains listed [here](https://www.dropbox.com/help/217) are allowed or whitelisted?
 

Should the above steps fail, then please try installing the newest version of the desktop application (32.4.xx) to see if the issues is resolved:

Please let me know the results in your reply!

[View solution in original post](/t5/Dropbox-installs-integrations/Something-Went-Wrong-Error-after-new-install/m-p/238099#M73045) the problem has been solved.

i got in contact with our provider and they were able to apply the proper access to the folder for verification.

thank you for all of your help and patience. this thread can now be closed. [The /2/sharing/remove\_folder\_member endpoint](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-remove_folder_member) (or corresponding native method) would be the right way to remove a member from a folder, whether or not they've mounted it. (Or, if operating on the recipient themselves, [/2/sharing/relinquish\_folder\_membership](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-relinquish_folder_membership).)


That 'no\_explicit\_access' error should indicate "The target member only has inherited access to the shared folder". For example, they only have access by virtue of having access to a higher level folder, meaning you can't remove just the lower folder.


Can you print out the full error object/message? The nested `MemberAccessLevelResult` may contain more useful information.


If that doesn't seem to be the case though, please share some sample calls that produce this unexpected error though so we can look into it.


Also, sharing individual files is a different piece of functionality than sharing folders, and sharing individual files does only support view-only access. For that, you can add members to files using [/2/sharing/add\_file\_member](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-add_file_member), and remove them using [/2/sharing/remove\_file\_member\_2](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-remove_file_member_2). 




[View solution in original post](/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Remove-Shared-Folder-Invitee/m-p/371583#M20937) Over the years, I've had several versions of DW -- some were more stable than others.  I can honestly say, the FTP has never been a big problem for me.   If it ever becomes glitchy, I close DW and clear my cache or restore preferences as that fixes most  problems. 

**[Unusual behavior in Dreamweaver? Try restoring preferences.](https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html "https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html")** 

I mainly work with dynamic sites but I don't have more than 2,000 files per site folder.    Each site folder resides on my primary hard drive within my local testing server's default web directory (htdocs or www).   

![CC-testingServer1.jpg](/legacyfs/online/1550323_CC-testingServer1.jpg)

I use Ctrl+Shift+U to upload an open document to server.  To be quite honest, it happens so fast, I don't even see the background process panel.    If I'm uploading many files, I expand my files panel so I can compare contents of local site with remote server to ensure that the last modified timestamps are consistent.

![CC-FilesPanel-expanded.jpg](/legacyfs/online/1550322_CC-FilesPanel-expanded.jpg)

Finally, I had to turn off Real-Time backups and anti-virus scanning while I work.  When those processes were running in the background, everything came to a crawl. 

Hope this helps.

Alt-Web Design & Publishing The best way to  

do it is to rename the file then force a replication from a known good server.


If it is not too  

corrupted you can do an updall -r and it will rebuild the indexes.


Try running  

nfixup.exe against it. If that doesn’t work, try ncompact -c against it.


Note: ncompact  

exists in all workstation installs. nfixup is not part of the client — you can  

copy it off a server that runs at a similar NBotes version.


Make sure to use  

the -c option with compact (ncompact -c whatever\your\file.nsf)


In case it didn’t assist you, then you may use professional recovery software <http://www.nsf.openfiletool.com/> NSF Open File Tool Magda, have you found what you need, yet?


I did this many years ago. It is simple… the 2nd time you do it!  

Exit points are simply “interrupts” that IBM supplies. You can attach programs to them, and the programs will automatically run at that point. For setting your AS/400 up to accept FTP logons, for example, the exit point is:  

QIBM\_QTMF\_SVR\_LOGON and the format you wil use is: TCPL0100.


A program inserted there can control WHO can log on, and when.  

To control WHAT they can do, you use another exit point, QIBM\_QTMF\_SERVER\_REQ and use format VLRQ0100.


My notes (from 1999) say I used the IBM TCP manual to get this info, specifically: TCP/IP manual SC41-5420-01 page I-14.


I do not know if it will allow me to post code here, it is long and complex due to the number of variables and some of them being in hex.


Write me (drow@waxie.com) if you would like me to email you my program code.

This is a link for [Add-ons for Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/). These are programs written by users or developers that the browser knows how and when to call. The developers of Firefox designed it to allow external programs to be hooked in by users of the browser.


IBM did something similar for a lot of the TCP/IP and other server functions. (And a lot of other things.) When you connect to the FTP server for example, the server checks to see if a program has been registered to process FTP logon requests. The registered program is an ‘exit program’.


Browser add-ons get an entry added to a file someplace within the browser directory structure. In your iSeries, the entry would be added to the Registration Facility. (Not always, but that’s the commonly recognized object for exit points and programs.) Use WRKREGINF to review your registration facility.


To create an exit program, you need to know the parameter list that will be passed to your program and the exit protocol. To find the parameter list, you should start looking at the documentation for the server the exit program will be associated with. The protocol, the meanings of the parms and what to with them, is also there.


A FTP exit program would be structured after documentation within the [File Transfer Protocol exit programs](http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/rzaiq/rzaiqreferenceexit.htm) topic of the Information Center for your release.


Once registered, a server logon exit program (for example) would be called just before the server decides whether or not to accept the logon. Your exit program directly influences that decision by returning an ‘accept or reject’ parameter. It chooses based on examination of the input parms.


The exit program may control who can and cannot logon, where they may logon from, what times of day logons are accepted, or it might accept all logons — its purpose can be simply to write all logons to a log file or to send a message when particular logons happen. Your exit program can do whatever it is programmed to do at that point in the logon process.


It doesn’t have to be a ‘security’ function. It’s whatever you want it to be.


For the FTP server, there are two general exit points. One is just before a logon is accepted. The other is just before each transaction in a session is processed. You can control individual transactions just as you can logons. (FTP client has its own exit points.)


Most other exit programs work on similar principles.


A few issues complicate things.


* An exit program needs enough authority to do whatever it needs to do; it can’t always rely on the authority of the session user.
* An exit program shouldn’t unduly delay transactions; there’s no way to know how often an exit program may be called, so you don’t want it slowing down every single transaction.
* Exit programs may be called by many instances of a server at the same time; it shouldn’t be locking things that are needed by a different instance.
* IBM changes the interfaces at times and the servers themselves can get PTFs; regular, on-going maintenance can be needed — keep the programs direct with little complication.
* There are other issues, but those are enough to consider.


Code a very simple exit program that accepts the parms and returns an ‘Accept’ indication. Don’t have it do anything except maybe send a message to a message queue. That lets you see how the registration facility works and how the parms work. It also gives you a program that you can register and deregister in the future to check whether or not the server is stilling calling your program correctly. (Problems can happen.)

Your Question is incomplete


is the specific system is not on Network? its might be a problem discovered last year, that system ping but not share any data, or cannot access the system


you click on start menu and then click on run  

type serivces.msc  

and run the computer browser service, Remote Procedure call service, Server, and Client service


and your problem will resolved
