iis ftp:
Dear IT collegues,
I have 2000 server with a FTP service running. In the system log I get two
messages which I can't find the source off the error.
Settings FTP:
Home directory TAB) I have changed the ftp root to X:\ftproot instead
C:\INETPUB\ftproot
Security account TAB) I disallow anonymous access and grant access to
Administrator and FTPUSER
Settings X:\ftproot
I removed the everyone user and only allow Administrator and FTPUSER and
granted both off them user rights (full and read only)
It works fine and I am quitte sure it is secure. Maybe not perfect but
that's an other discussion.
The errors:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MSFTPSVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 101
Date: date
Time: time
User: N/A
Computer: server2000
Description:
The server was unable to add the virtual root '' for the directory
'X:\ftproot' due to the following error: Access is denied. The data is the
error code.
And:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: MSFTPSVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10
Date: date
Time: time
User: N/A
Computer: server2000
Description:
User _User_ at host _IPADDRESS_ has timed-out after 900 seconds of
inactivity.
The first error appears when the FTP service is starting, in my case I
scheduled the service cause at night all working people are sleeping and the
FTP is useless (what everyone could consider for security)
The second error appears when someone has disconnected.
It is not shocking, it's working fine! But those errors are the only one in
my eventvwr and I want to get rid off them too at last :-D
