iis ftp: Hello.

I'm trying to set up an IIS FTP site with multiple directories, but
want individual users to not see the root directory or anying outside
of their home directories.

I figured I could create one ftp site on port 21 with a set home
directory and have each user have a home directory on their profile.

I've checked the security of users home directory and the ftp sites
home directory and both are open to the user.

Am i missing something? Does the home directory need another access?

I've tried this

If you got this meaning the folder either not valid or user has no access to
the folder which IIS FTP is sending the user to.

Get filemon to trace.. download it, run it on the server, then try ftp.exe
to login again.
then check the log and see where IIS FTP send the user to, and check why it
got stuck.
