isolate users question
|
|
|
| I've read all the posts on this, but none of them match my situation.
I have about 50 FTP-only users on my existing IIS4 setup. Rather than
doing the virtual directory thing again on my new IIS6 server, I
thought the "isolate users" feature would do the trick - let them only
log into their own FTP folders and nowhere else.
Problem: all the FTP-only users are domain accounts. I set the FTP
service in IIS6 to NOT require the domain credentials when logging on.
OK, that leaves the directory structure to worry about with the
"isolate users" feature. Well, our domain name is CORPORATE, and
there's already a directory with that name under the FTPROOT - and
that CORPORATE directory is only accessible by a privileged few
people.
I tried putting a directory under the existing CORPORATE directory for
one of my FTP-only users, but it won't let that user log in - I get
the infamous "home directory inaccessible" error. I haven't found
anything in any of the logs on the IIS6 server so I can't investigate
further.
I didn't do anything special with directory rights - do I need to
change anything with these for this feature?
PS: I did play around with local users and that seems to work, except
for some reason when I log in (I always use the command-line FTP
utility), I have to specify the local domain (the name of the IIS6
server) in order for it to let the local user log in.
Thanks in advance for any help with this. If I can't get it to work, I
guess I'll just have to continue with the old virtual directory trick.

| <home directory inaccessible> This should related to permissions settings.
Now, do you get the same msgs when you login as administrators ? do user has
READ NTFS permission on home path ?
