Has this issue been resolved? I am facing the same problem. I installed 'alfresco-labs-tomcat-3Stable.tar' at the specified location /opt/alfresco on Ubuntu system
- Folders are not visible/ accessible via FTP
- Though I had an acp file uploaded to Company Home, which was visible, though not downloadable. On trying to download. It gives a 550: Invalid Path error
- On the WebDAV view however it's all fine
