Morning folks,

I seem to be having an issue with how FTP was setup on our system
running server 2003. It was setup using the non-AD user isolation.
All the users work fine except for the administrator. When I try to
login as administrator it gives me:

530 User administrator cannot log in, home directory inaccessible.

I want the admins home directory to be the "root" ftp dir (the one just
above the individual user's dirs). Our current structure is:
D:
- ftp
- Localuser
- user1dir
- user2dir

So when I login as admin I want to have it drop me in Localuser. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Matt

Can't. That's not the way user isolation works. Give them a virtual
folder that points to the root or use a different FTP setup for them.

Hi Jeff,

Sorry I just now saw your reply. Since I posted I tried setting up
what said about setting the admin users home dir to Localuser but now
whenever I try to login as that user it says their home directory is
not accessible. Any ideas? Thanks again for the help.

double check the user home folder setting again.....
most likely permissions issue, you can also get filemon (sysinternals.com)
to help trace.
