Home directory inaccessible
|
|
|
| I recently reinstalled Win 2003 web server on a computer and of course the
FTP site that I had setup went away with it. Anyway, I set it up again but am
having the same problem that I had when I first installed it about 6-8 months
ago and I can't remember the solution.
Using ftp.exe from an XP computer in a command prompt on my local intranet,
I'm able to connect to it. But after I enter my password, I get the message:
530 User xxx cannot log in, home directory inaccessible.
On the server I have a group setup (xxx is a member) that has permissions to
logon locally, full control over the root directory (C:\CTROOT) as well as
full permissions on the home directory (C:\CTROOT\xxx).
Any ideas, Tom

| Are you using any user isolation feature? try
Err Msg: 530 User <Username> Cannot Log In, Home Directory Inaccessible.
Login Failed.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=221934
next if it the same, get filemon to trace.
See where IIS ftp is redirecting the user to.. and why it got stuck.

| Bernard, thanks for responding. Yes, I am using user isolation. I looked at
the item that you suggested and it talks about having read permissions on hte
root directory. The user has FULL control over everything, so by default read
si included.
Any other ideas.

| Well if isolation mode. do you create in the required folder structure?
e.g. localusers\ or domainname\ ???
Filemon will tell you when IIS FTP is sending the user... use this to
trace.

| Well, Bernard I'm finally back. After some travel and software reinstall, etc.
So, here is the situation with my problem as of now. I have done as you
suggested and are using the correct folder structure FTProot\localuser\tom.
Now from the ftp.exe on a Win XP computer, I am able to log in successfully.
However, I am not able to upload anything. I'm getting an "Access is Denied"
message on the client when I issue the command 'put trial.dot'.
On the server, the following messages were logged:
22:10:48 192.168.1.12 [6]USER tom 331 0
22:10:52 192.168.1.12 [6]PASS - 230 0
22:11:01 192.168.1.12 [6]created Trial.dot 550 5
22:13:08 192.168.1.12 [6]QUIT - 550 0
But, the file is no where to be found. It's not on the server.
FYI, on the server, the user tom has full control over the folder.
Help, Tom

| Ok, does the ftp site property in IIS MMC allow 'write' ?
is the 'write' permission checked in the site property page?

| In the FTP site properties page, under the 'Home Directory' tab, the
following are checked: Read, Write and Log Visits.

| Bernard, I can't believe what I found! You were right when you asked about
the firewall.
First from the iis server itself, it worked just fine. FYI the firewall is
NOT running on the server, so I started looking on the XP machine.
I went to Control Panel-->Windows Firewall and on the General tab, the
firewall is OFF. Then I started hunting around and went to the Advanced tab
and found that the firewall IS ENABLED for the specific Local Area Connection
that I'm using. Then looking at the settings for this connection, it showed
that nothing (including FTP) was being allowed over that connection.
I always thought that the General tab was the ON/OFF switch, but I guess you
really need to look further.
Anyway, it looks like it's working now. Thanks for your help.

| No problem. if it work locally but not remote. Firewall blocking is most
likely the cause of it.
