RE: Confused about FTP for IIS7 authorization

Hi Colin,

Based on my test results, NTFS permission is still required for Windows
user account authorization. I suspect that some user group in the FTP dir's
ACL list includes your test account and that's why you can login without
explicitly granting the NTFS permission. The ACL list in my test is:

CREATEOR OWNER FC
SYSTEM FC
Administrators FC

In this, Administrator can login but any other test account not. Both of
them are with allowed rules in FTP authorization. Furthermore, the error
returned for test account is just the same one as you met: Home directory
inaccessible.

However for IIS manager users, this totally doesn't affect. I've confirmed
with our IIS group that Local System is used for FTP service to access the
physical file when using IIS manager user authorization.

So please ensure NTFS permission is correctly set for your Windows groups
or accounts for FTP authorization and see if the error still persists.

For your reference:

Have a nice weekend.
