Strange. I have 14 Folders that use a shell script to rename the files, then upload them to a mirrored directory structure on an FTP server. All of them include a "Start Path:" prefix of "/var/www/" in the "[Upload] to server:[server_url]" settings. This is not correct for my server and clicking the "Connect" button returns an error. Removing the prefix allows me to connect and "Open" (select) the appropriate directory, as is expected. The permissions prompt no longer appears.
However, if I go back to check the "Start Path" again, the prefix reappears.
To clarify, I change this:
/var/www/html/my_sample_directory
to:
html/my_sample_directory
...and Hazel changes it back to:
/var/www/html/my_sample_directory
