Win2003Srv, IISFtp and odd problems with rights

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



Hi

I ran into strange situation which I will describe in a moment. I don't know
what may it be caused be and that is why i write here, to the general group
with hope that someone could at least point where I should try to get help.

I've gut Windows 2003 Server SP2 with IIS on it.
I have configured an FTP Site on it with user isolation mode.
I have also changed the default FTP root setting from C:\Inetpub\ftproot\ to
D:\FTP\

I have checked if users have rights to access their home directories being
logged on terminal server (the same machine that has iis on it) And the
answare is no, users can only create. They can't change or delete it.

I have checked the rights for few named users and it appears thay have full
rights to the folder. The message they've got is that they don't have rights
to D:\
And that is true. Each user has full right but only to
D:\FTP\domainname\username\

More, if I share D:\FTP and then with logon script map
D:\FTP\domainname\username\ as network drive, it all works fine.

But there is even more. Being logged as a testuser i have openned cmd.exe,
navigated to that testuser's ftp directory D:\FTP\domainname\testuser and
tryed some commands against files I have uploaded. Guess what happend? It
worked.
It all seamed to work properly. I could over FTP conection. I mean upload,
download, create folder, change names of files and delete them.

The problem appears only when you use explorer.exe and access files throu
local drive and not network that maps into it.

Please enlight me.

Regards
Michal
