Have created a FTP site on a Windows 2003 SBS server using the “Isolate us
ers
using Active Directory” option. My problem is that I get a error when I lo
gin
“530 User XXXXX cannot login, home directory inaccessible”.

Here is what I have done.
Added login locally rights to the users and groups that need access by
setting it in the default domain policy.

Added permissions to directories created to include users that needed access

Set the msIIS-FTPRoot and msIIS-FTPDir with the VBS metod outlined in a
Microsoft article

iisftp.vbs /SetADProp (User name) FTPRoot \\Inetpub\ftproot
iisftp.vbs /SetADProp (User name) FTPDir \(User name)

Verified that the msIIS-FTPRoot and msIIS-FTPDir were set correctly by using

iisftp /GetADProp (User Name) FTPRoot
iisftp /GetADProp (User Name)

Path from MetaBase.xml
<IIsFtpVirtualDir Location="/LM/MSFTPSVC/1/ROOT" AccessFlags="AccessRead"
Path="c:\inetpub\ftproot" />

My directory structure (have substituted localuser with mydomain and
mydomain.local, nothing works)

c:\
|
|---Windows
|
|---Inetpub
|       |
|       |---wwwroot
|       |
|       |---ftproot
|       |       |
|       |       |---localuser
|       |       |      |
|       |       |      |---test1
|       |       |      |
|       |       |      |---test2

Output from CuteFTP

STATUS:>	Socket connected. Waiting for welcome message...
220 Microsoft FTP Service
STATUS:>	Connected. Authenticating...
COMMAND:>	USER xxxxxx
331 Password required for xxxxxx.
COMMAND:>	PASS ********
530 User xxxxxx cannot log in, home directory inaccessible.
ERROR:>	Password not accepted
ERROR:>	Can't login. Still trying...


I have been reading articles and trying to get this to work for almost 2
weeks, does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, or know of something I am
missing.

Thanks
AJ

Hi

One thing to check with what you have shown below is your SetADProp FTPRoot
command

Your message displayed \\Inetpub\ftproot as the FTPRoot which to me means a
machine on the network called "Inetpub" with a file share called "ftproot" -
so this could be your problem if you were refeering to c:\inetpub\ftproot

If the FTP Directory is on the local SBS server then use this syntax

Our "Virtual Home Directory" for user folders is c:\inetpub\ftproot
Our Username is "Chris"

so out path for useraccount "Chris" is "c:\inetpub\ftproot\chris"

So the commands would be:

IIsFtp /SetADProp Chris FTPRoot c:\inetpub\ftproot
IIsFtp /SetADProp Chris FTPDir Chris

Doing this works fine for me on SBS2003.

Please let me know if this was any help to you.

Yupe thats look like the issue. Also you can get filemon (sysinternals.com)
and trace which folder IIS Ftp is trying to redirect the user.
