iis ftp
group:FTP user isolation help
iis ftp:
I am in charge of a lab with roughly 20 users. Everyone has a user account and I have set up 1 ftp site with virtual directories for every user since I only have 1 ip to work with. When users log in with IE7 and have not selected the "View FTP sites in Windows Explorer" option, they log onto the ftproot folder...Not good. However when they do switch to Explorer view, and re-log on, they are immediately transferred to their own directory with each of their folders only allowing themselves and admin as permissions. It is not a caching issue, as I created a dummy user with a virtual site and the first time I log on to the site, it goes right to root, where after I switch to explorer view, re-input the credentials it goes to "their" virtual directory?? Any help or insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marc "I gotta go. My damn wiener kids are listening."

Marc,
There is a solution for this. Here are the steps sumarized from start to finish, you'll have to pick out the parts you need to do. Set up IIS Make FTP root folder Make _Second_ FTP root folder Make user folders in _Second_ ftp root folder Make users Add user permissions to user folders Make FTP site Use _first_ root folder as the root of that. Make user folders, make those go to /second/user/ folder. Repeat as necessary. End result. Users using "CD" to get out of their folder end up in the "first" root folder which has no write permissions for them, and no other folders or data to view. Only if they a) know the virtual folder name of other users and b) have permissions to view or edit it can they get in there. Otherwise it looks like they are on their own FTP instance all alone. Depending on if the folders have HTTP access or not, you could remove permissions so users can't view or edit even if they should manage to figure out how. (Most won't.) As admin, you would be able to log in and change folders around as needed. (Assuming you knew the folder names) Works in IIS5 and IIS6.

this is known issue for IE7. if you want user to automatic redirect to home
folder. use Windows explorer to access not IE. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "marc" <marc.welty@gmail.com> wrote in message news:1172127696.896463.81900@v45g2000cwv.googlegroups.com... > Hello Everyone, > > I am in charge of a lab with roughly 20 users.

This won't address the IE 7 issue. Microsoft break something on ftp login.
and what you propose can be easily done via user isolation in iis 6. -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.iis.net/ http://www.iis-resources.com/ http://msmvps.com/blogs/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] ".._.." <.._..@yourmom.mil> wrote in message news:uZiDh.3281$G23.2387@newsreading01.news.tds.net... > Marc, > > There is a solution for this.
