  WebDAV - The paramater is incorrect Reply Contact I have a server with WebDAV and several folders with different authoring rules. It usually works without any problems but now I've run into an error on a single folder that i can't seem to figure out. When i add the folder as a network location and navigate a few levels into the folder, i am suddenly met with a single subfolder which i can't access. When trying to open the folder i get an error stating that the path is not accessible because "The paramater is incorrect". Other folders on the same level work fine. The folder works fine locally on the server. I've tested it on several machines and they all get the same error. I've tried resetting the folder permissions and disabling anti virus. Not luck yet. Any ideas? I haven't lost 'till I'm the last one to cross the finish line.

The folder had an ampersand in its name which gave the problem. But i would like to know what an FREB log is if you could point me in the right direction? Would it have helped me track down the problem? I haven't lost 'till I'm the last one to cross the finish line.

  Re: WebDAV - The paramater is incorrect Reply Contact Aha... you ran into a bug in which WebDAV was not properly escaping certain special characters (such as ampersands) when they're present in file/directory names. A hotfix is available to address problem; see KB 957001 for details. This applies to "WebDAV 7.0 for IIS 7.0". Another option is to upgrade to WebDAV 7.5 for IIS 7.0. This upgrade includes the above fix, as well as WebDAV lock functionality. You can find information on Failed Request Tracing here. FREB is useful for tracking down many server errors, but unfortunately it would not have helped in this situation.
