iis ftp:
In active mode, you need binding port and binding port - 1
so default site uses 21 and 20
and tom should be 2121 and 2120

Since you are on port 22, 22 - 1 is 21, hence this should give you error
msgs.

home directory inaccessible TomB
6/14/2005 8:33:05 AM
I have 2 FTP sites, default and one called "tom". I'm using the DOS
client under WinXp Pro and the Server is Win 2003. All is on my
internal network as of now. Both FTP sites are setup the same
(do not allow asychronous), except for the ports and Home Directories:

default is:
192.168.1.30 port 21
c:\inetpub\ftproot

tom is:
192.168.1.30 port 22
c:\inetput\ftproot\tom

The user "tom", works just fine on the default site. On the tom site,
after entering the password, the following message is issued:
"530 User tom cannot login, home directory inaccessible."

If you're using user isolation, your home directory path is wrong.
For a non-AD isolation, the path is:

c:\inetput\ftproot\localuser\tom

For AD it's:

c:\inetput\ftproot\{domain}\tom

Bernard, thanks for the responce.

I tried, as you suggested, port 2121 and received the same message. Any
other thoughts?

Jeff, I am not using active directory so my path is "c:\inetput\ftproot\tom".
In your post you suggested "c:\inetput\ftproot\localuser\tom".

Is there some signifance to the "localuser" portion of your suggested path
and if so, what?

Thanks, Tom

Ok. do you enable any user isolation mode when you create the ftp site ?
do the user has permission to access the folder ?
Err Msg: 530 User <Username> Cannot Log In, Home Directory Inaccessible.
Login Failed.

if no luck, try filemon (sysinternals.com) and trace where does the user try
to access.

No guidance, just the way it is. That's what the path *must* be for
user isolation, exactly as I posted. If it isn't, you receive the
error you're getting. Read the link I posted.

Great, thanks for the help. With the use of netmon and Jeff path suggestion,
I'm now able to use user isolation.

Thanks, Tom
