File Read Permissions Adam Simmonds (SimAda00)

iis ftp:
I am allowing users to access their home folders via ftp. The folders are
restricted to the specific user and the system administrators. I have set the
root of the ftp site to the data store (\\data7\usrhomefolders) and i read a
article on the web which says that when you log on and their is a folder in
the ftp site named as the username it auotmatically jumps to it as the root
for the user. The problem is the users require read access to the store, by
allowing this they are able to see into everyones folders, (i know i could
stop the permissions from being in herited and set them on the individual
folders but their must be a less time consuming way.)

That's the behavior with IIS 5. if you have IIS 6, then you can try the new
user isolation feature.
with 5, what you can do is use virtual directory at the root level, then map
it to physical user folder
even though user able to 'cd ..' back to the root, by design virtual
directory is hidden from dir listing.
