Re: Isolate users using Active Directory

Thanks for the links Bernard. The tool by Chris works great. When I setup
option three it asked me for a user and password. What is that used for
exactly? If I go to my ftp site ftp://ftp.mydomain.com what user do I enter?
I'm assuming that if I enter userA and that user's home FTP directory is
clientA then they would be navigated to that folder.

Thanks for your help.

Help, I can't figure this out! I want to set up an FTP site that I can
create specific directories for specific clients. My directory structure
looks like this:

F:/FTP
Clients
clientA
clientB
clientC

I only want clients to be able to access their own folders. I read through
the differnet options and I thought that this is what the 'Isolate users
using Active Directory' would allow me to do. But I can't get it to work.

Here's what I've done.

1. Created users for each folder (userA, userB, userC). Given them NTFS
permissions to their folders (clientA, clientB, clientC).
2. Installed IIS/FTP.
3. Created an FTP site using the 'Isolate users using Active Directory'
using the IP address and a limited privelage user (bubba).

Problems/Questions

By entering 'bubba' in the setup, how do I log on with userA to get to the
clientA folder? Each time I go to my website ftp://ftp.mydomain.com I get
the
'Log on as' box and it says 'Either the server does not allow anonymous
logins or the e-mail address was not accepted'. Email address not
accepted?
Where does that come from. If I enter clientA and the password it just
returns to the above problem.

I tried to run the adsi command to set the users home directory but that
didn't seem to work either. It keeps telling me that userA cannot be found
in
Active Directory even though it IS there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
