Restricted files on already restrict FTP site


Restricted files on already restrict FTP site Johnny Rio

iis ftp:
I have a Windows 2003 Server in which I have already restricted access to my
ftp site except for those users in which I have supplied them the
username/password. What I would like to do is set a folder within that site
to be restricted even further....thus a prompt for a second username/password
for certain files. I have a NAT router which is managed offsite so I don't
want to have to fool around with opening additional ports at this time. I
monkeyed around with IIS and the permissions in Windows Explorer but can't
get a prompt to enter credentials for the restricted folder. Can this be
done?

Thanks,

Using NTFS permissions you could restrict this folder without having
to reauthenticate. If you want a second username/password, create a
second username and restrict that folder with only that username
having permissions.

However, you will not get another prompt when the existing user trying to
access the new set of restricted folder. this is not how ftp work.
the user will get access denied and end there.

Hence, the best way to control access in ftp is by configuring the NTFS
permission and only grant access to required user accounts.
