iis ftp : Cannot setup Isolated Users FTP site In SBS2003
I am having real trouble setting up isolated users ftp site in SBS2003. The standard FTP site works fine with anonymous or authenticated. when I try and create the Isolated FTP site I cannot login and I always get the event ID 13 in the event viewer saying that it could not access the home directory. If I create isolated users with anonymous access it works OK getting into the anonymous area but people who are logging in cannot get their home directory. I must be typing / spelling the directory incorrectly can someone verify what it should be. currently I have setup D:\Users FTP\Account\LOGONACCOUNT Example. Say I have a user John Smith who logs on as johns i have created a folder d:\Users FTP\Account\johns Any Ideas? It seems quite a few people have problems with isolated users in 2003 is there a simple (non microsoft !) guide ?

Under the FTP root directory you need to create a sub-directory called LocalUser and then you need to create individual sub-directories within LocalUser for your individual users' home folders. For example, if I have a user called Bob then there has to be a physical directory similar to this in order for it to work. C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\Bob Regards, Paul Lynch

Assuming you're not doing AD, you'd need: \FTPRoot\LocalUser\UserName In your case, if you made your FTP Root d:\Users FTP you'd have: d:\Users FTP\LocalUser\johns [quoted text, click to view] >It seems quite a few people have problems with isolated users in 2003 >is there a simple (non microsoft !) guide ? Don't know. I did fine with the Microsoft instructions. :)

In Non AD Isolated FTP site I created the directories as mentioned above but it still wont work. As a test to isolated any spelling mistakes on my side I created a temporary user called g (short for gavin). I then created a folder called g under the LocalUser folder. Still no access to the ftp site and event 13 eroors in eventviewer. I have also restarted the ftp service again but still no joy. If I create the folder /LocalUser/Public and allow anonymous access I get in fine. It therefore can only be a problem with the logon name and the name of the folder that should correspond to this event error13

It is really frustrating me Gavin, When you try to connect what *exact* error message do you get in your FTP client ? What is the full error you see in Event Viewer ? Have you changed the NTFS permissions on the FTP directories in some way ? Did you set it up as per these instructions ? http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/IIS/6/all/techref/en-us/iisRG_CFG_21.mspx Regards, Paul Lynch

It is really frustrating me You need the correct NTFS permissions on the folder, full control for user "g" would do it if you need to test, then tie down permissions as you need to. Also post the full error message including event ID and source, plus post the exact responses using the command line FTP client.
Hi guys
Finally got it sorted. I saw this http://forums.devshed.com/archive/t-91708 I had to put create a folder in the ftp root called DOMAINNAME and then subfolders called USERNAME and this worked fine. Cheers for the help guys.
This is using domain mode then, refer -
