WINSOCK Error: Access denied.

Explanation:

An attempt was made to access a file or a directory in a way that is incompatible with the file's attributes. For example you attempted to read from a file that is not open, write to a read-only file, or open a directory instead of a file. This error can also occur when you try to rename a file or directory or remove an existing directory, and you do not have adequate permissions.

User Action:

Check the permissions on the file or directory that you are attempting to open.
