I understood. I am sorry to have pointed out that is already written in the document.

This also fails with error message:
"System error 1312 has occurred. A specified logon session does not exist.  It may already have been terminated."
This seems to be because "a process started under SYSTEM account can't access network shares which require authentication." :-)

To reproduce this problem,
1) Share a directory "shared1" on "computer1" set same password with a local account.
2) Be sure that \\computer1\shared1 can be accessed with no password query from the local account.
3) Login to the local account using ftp.
4) Access to \\computer1\shared1 from ftp login fails except for the first access after logging in as follows.

[yano@kappy ~]$ ftp localhost

As shown above, although the first access "get file1" succeeded, the subsequent "get file1" and "ls" failed.

It has been verified that this test version works fine as well as version 1.7-1.
I'm looking forward to new release. :-)

Thanks.
