Advice on troubleshooting ftp site

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


I have an ftp that was used by a photcopier as a network scanning catch. It runs on a Win 2003sp1 server and is simply an ftp site that is logged onto with a particular username.

It suddenly stopped working. All the settings for the rights to the folders and the ftp site in IIS seem completely fine. However, I can't log into the ftp. My login gets rejected. I can log in with the administrator account, but 'pwd' tells me I'm in the root directory and there aren't any other directories to change to.

The 'Big Change' that seemed to coincide with this problem is that server that hosted the ftp site was also a DC,GC, and a DNS server. I demoted that server to a member server, and it didn't go completely succesfully, since a couple little problems like this popped up.

I believe I have addressed the AD problems caused by the demotion, but this service continues to be stubborn. I've tried the normal stuff, and I'm stuck on where to go next.

Thanks in Advance for Any Ideas
