You are using standard user isolation so the AD stuff like msIIS-FTP***
doesn't applies to your setup. the localuser path is predefined using this
mode. so it would be easier to modify your web structure rather than ftp.

so point user test web root to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\localuser\test.

Hi all, I have a Windows 2003 SP2 server running MS-FTP & web server that
I
wish to modify regarding the LocalUser path.

I wish to set the FTP root (FTP site in User Isolation mode but not for
AD)
to that of an FTP Virtual Folder but this depends upon the server catching
the username and mapping it to the corresponding folder (i.e. user 'test'
should map to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test).

If I connect using FTP I recieve an error '530 User test cannot log in,
home
directory inaccessible' which is understandable as filemon.exe shows me
that
the FTP service is trying to map my user 'test' to
'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\LocalUser\test' which does not exist.

I am trying to set the root of the virtual folder for each FTP account to
jump straight to c:\inetpub\wwroot\UserName? so the FTP user can modify
there
own website directly.

I can find many references to modifying 'msIIS-FTPRoot' and 'msIIS-FTPDir'
when AD is present but how do I modify the paths when AD is not being
used?


TIA

Kenny
