Re: Cannot FTP to website on IIS6

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



Are you using any ftp user isolation feature?
You can get filemon and trace where does IIS FTP sending the user to.

Background: Server 2003 Standard, running IIS 6.0.

I've set up a website, and copied a few test files to it over the LAN;
everything works fine, and if I access the server via it's internet
address it all still works (tested by a colleague in the US).

I want to set up FTP so I can upload files remotely using Dreamweaver.

The files are setup as follows;

FTP Sites
--> Test Site

Properties:
IP Address: (All Unassigned)
TCP Port: 2101
Anonymous connections is Unchecked
Home Directory is located on this computer, at 'E:\test'
Permissions Read, Write and Log Visits are all checked.
Directory Security: all computers will be granted access.

When I look at the Permissions tab, the user (testadmin) is shown as
having Full Control. This user is also a member of the computers
Administrators group.

When I FTP using Dreamweaver, I just get the error message 'index.htm - an
error occurred - cannot put index.htm. Access Denied. The file may not
exist, or there could be a permission problem.'

If I FTP from the command line, it shows the correct banner text for this
ftp , then when I enter the password it gives me the error '530: user
testadmin cannot log in, home directory inaccessible. Login failed'

I'm stuck now. I don't know if I'm an inch away from a solution, or
several miles away and travelling in the wrong direction. All I want to do
is upload my files to the server...

Regards,

Pete.
