Author User Accounts

Hello;

I would like to set the FTP server up so that if a specific user loggs in,
then they are automatically taken to a specific directory. If a different
user loggs in, then they may be taken to a differnet directory automatically.

Example:

User A: loggs in
They are taken automatically to:
FTP://x.x.x.x/files/usera

User B: loggs in
They are taken automatically to:
FTP://x.x.x.x/files/userb

Admin loggs in
They are taken atuomatically to:
FTP://x.x.x.x/

This is not exact, but I need something similar.

Does anyone know if this is possible? If so, do you have any pointers?

Thank you very much!

For admin login, in order to redirect correctly, the directory name need to
match the user name, hence if you can try to create virtual directory with
'the username' and mapped it to the ftp root path.

if you using IIS 6, then try the same technique, but the admin users will
need to 'cd xxx' to navigate to the virtual directory.
