Re: FTP Setup in WIndows 2000 help

Thank you for responding Bernard. I did the following with no success.
**********************
Windows 2000 servers
To configure the Log on locally right on a stand-alone server, follow
these steps: 1. In the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), open the
Local Computer Policy snap-in. To do this, follow these steps:a. Click
Start, type MMC, and then click OK.
b. Click Console, click Add/Remove Snap-in, and then click Add.
c. Select Group Policy, and then click Add.
d. Make sure that the Group Policy object says Local Computer, and
then click Finish.
e. Click Close, and then click OK.

2. Grant users or groups the Log on locally right. To do this, follow
these steps:a. Expand the following path in the MMC:
Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security
Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment
b. Double-click Log on Locally.
c. Add any users or groups that will use Basic/Clear Text
authentication.
**********************
The more I use Win2k Server the more I realize I am no IT guy...
coding... ok... setting up this web server... ouch...

So FTP is still not working and now I seem to have broken forms on the
website as well. At first, clicking submit on a form would bring up a
login box (which it should not). So I changed NTFS permissions on the
C drive and got it to skip the login but then it just times out.

I am using a perl script and blat... all was working before I started
messing around with groups, users, ntfs permissions, mmc plug in
policies, etc. in an effort to get ftp to work. I don't know how to
get back to where I started either. I must be doing something very
stupid. I readily admit I am rather bewildered by the relationships
between users, groups, permissions, authenticaion, ntfs security,
local policies, etc. and how they effect each other and in which order
I should do things. I can think about it logically and it seems it
should be simple but is not.

All I am attempting to do here is have a basic web server (hosting five
fixed IPs). I need semi-secure ftp and form functionality for the main
site.

Any suggestions or links that might help would be greatly, and I do
mean Greatly, appreciated.

Hello,

I am ... trying... to set up a basic login FTP service on a Windows
2000 Server box. I have repeated the steps from scratch several
times...

create the ftp folder
assign the ip
uncheck anon account
assign home directory...

create a user account with password

It will not connect via windows from another machine

It will not connect as localhost in command window
Connected to webserver
connection closed by remote host
Instantaneously..

21 is open, etc.

So I ponder...
Do I need to set permissions on specific folders?
Do I need to do something with log on locally?
Do I need to do something with NTFS?
Do I need to share the folder?
Do I need to do the above in a certain order?
and on and on and on....

Likely it is because I didn't place the chicken bones in the right
sequence after the last 1/4 moon...

Anyhow, frustrated, any suggestions... ? Thanks...


I wanted to add this text pasted from a remote system command window:
