Hello David,

I remember this problem with w2k servers and had it many
times and seems like there is a couple of three ways to
handle it.

1) Check the Windows system folder NTFS permissions and
setup for Internet visitors Users. (IWAM & IUSR) Or ..
2) Adding all Users to the Root Folder of the FTP Site
and/or HDD root. (Bad Solution) Or ..
3) Add each User to the Local Security Policy. (Bad
Solution)Or ..
4) See item #1 <SMILE>

I would do number 1 until you get it, otherwise 2 and 3
are a lot of work each time you want to add a FTP site
for a User.

It is very important to close the IIS Manager after each
step of anything you do in the IIS Manager and then open
it again to do the next step. This bug is resolved in
Win2003 Server & IIS6.0.

If you would like to correspond further, I have created a
temporary email address you can contact me at:

Sincerely,

Craig
