Re: Home directory inaccessible

Mmmm... how about ftp'ing locally at the server box itself?
any firewall/etc between xp and the iis server?

In the FTP site properties page, under the 'Home Directory' tab, the
following are checked: Read, Write and Log Visits.

Ok, does the ftp site property in IIS MMC allow 'write' ?
is the 'write' permission checked in the site property page?

Well, Bernard I'm finally back. After some travel and software
reinstall,
etc.

So, here is the situation with my problem as of now. I have done as you
suggested and are using the correct folder structure
FTProot\localuser\tom.
Now from the ftp.exe on a Win XP computer, I am able to log in
successfully.
However, I am not able to upload anything. I'm getting an "Access is
Denied"
message on the client when I issue the command 'put trial.dot'.

On the server, the following messages were logged:
22:10:48 192.168.1.12 [6]USER tom 331 0
22:10:52 192.168.1.12 [6]PASS - 230 0
22:11:01 192.168.1.12 [6]created Trial.dot 550 5
22:13:08 192.168.1.12 [6]QUIT - 550 0

But, the file is no where to be found. It's not on the server.

FYI, on the server, the user tom has full control over the folder.

Help, Tom

Well if isolation mode. do you create in the required folder
structure?
e.g. localusers\ or domainname\ ???

Filemon will tell you when IIS FTP is sending the user... use this to
trace.

Bernard, thanks for responding. Yes, I am using user isolation. I
looked
at
the item that you suggested and it talks about having read
permissions
on
hte
root directory. The user has FULL control over everything, so by
default
read
si included.

Any other ideas.

Are you using any user isolation feature? try
Err Msg: 530 User <Username> Cannot Log In, Home Directory
Inaccessible.
Login Failed.

next if it the same, get filemon to trace.
See where IIS ftp is redirecting the user to.. and why it got
stuck.

I recently reinstalled Win 2003 web server on a computer and of
course
the
FTP site that I had setup went away with it. Anyway, I set it up
again
but
am
having the same problem that I had when I first installed it
about
6-8
months
ago and I can't remember the solution.

Using ftp.exe from an XP computer in a command prompt on my local
intranet,
I'm able to connect to it. But after I enter my password, I get
the
message:
530 User xxx cannot log in, home directory inaccessible.

On the server I have a group setup (xxx is a member) that has
permissions
to
logon locally, full control over the root directory (C:\CTROOT)
as
well
as
full permissions on the home directory (C:\CTROOT\xxx).

Any ideas, Tom
