iis ftp : CAN'T MOVE FTProot folder


Al

I can't move/copy the ftproot folder to my D drive on the
same ftp server. I manually stopped the IIS services and I
disconnected the network cable from the server, but I
still can't copy the folder to the other drive. The two
drives are Dynamic. Can anyone help in this matter?

no I haven't tried that, but all I want to do is move the
contents of the folder to a differnt drive. I need the
space on the C drive and moving that folder will free up
20 gigs, currently the C drive is full.

Why not ? What happens when you try ? Any errors ?

The FTP service may be holding some files open in the root directory.
Try setting the FTP service to disabled and re-booting the machine and
then copy/move the FTP root.

Then re-start the FTP service and see what happens.

Have you tried creating a new FTP root, configuring IIS to use that
new root and then copying the files over once you have re-started the
IIS FTP service ?

Try a Windows admin group, this is a file issue. Just because the
files are your FTP root doesn't change that.

How full ? Any copy/move operations may fail if there isn't sufficient
free space on the system drive.

You may need to delete some files on the C drive before you proceed.
