for iis/ftp xp pro
created dir c/ftp1
created user ftp1 with a password
added user ftp1 to permissions for c/ftp1 for r+w only
created virtual dir, ftp1, in iis pointing to c/ftp1, so in iis i have: ftp
sites/default ftp site/ftp1
disallowed anon access to default ftp site
when i point my ie to ftp://mysite.com/ftp1, i get prompted for a
username/pswd,
after i enter them, i don't get an error msg and ie indicates i'm in
mysite.com/ftp1,
ie. there's a folder icon in the upper left corner with 'ftp1', but none of
the files are showing??
i must be close to getting this right??

Yeah. close...
Now - you sure in ftp1 folder ? if yes you have files in there?
by default virtual directory is not visible in dir listing.
so let's say you at mysite.com - you won't see 'ftp1' directory in the list,
but if you 'cd ftp1' and navigate to the folder, you should see files in
there.

sorry about the multipost, i thought it needed clarification

[quoted text, click to view]
when i set anon access ok in iis and there are only the default users
(groups) tied to the folder, everything ok
if i disable anon access, and add a local acct user to the c/ftp1 folder
permissions, with r+w only, (list+read+write and nothing else)
i get prompted for a username/pswd, but after that is when no contents
display
(when ftp1 folder created by default it had administrator, users, system,
creator-owner, everyone)
( the local acct user i added belongs to users)

i am getting a script error in ftp.htt, line 148, strMOTD =
TranslateCRs(ID_FTPWebView.MessageOfTheDay);
seems it can find the msg of day variable, thinking that shouldn't affect
display of contents? yes?

Ok. so does it helps? do you see files in the virtual directory?

i don't know what you saw about something helping? did you see my responses
to your questions below?
there are no files displayed, zero
could it have something to do with the ie properties?
do i need the user acct with the password to be a member of a certain group?
is there something about the real folder's inherited properties?
ftp = Frustrating Technical Problem :-)

what client you using to login.

Now, simple test - go to command prompt, connect via ftp.exe
ftp yourftpip

after username/passwod. do a dir listing. you should not see 'ftp1' virtual
directory, as it is virtual.
next then 'cd ftp1' to navigate to the folder. dir again, if you have files
in the folder, you will see it.

ok, so it all works with ftp.exe, it probably always did,
now how do i get it to work with ie 6.0.29..........
most folks will not know how to use ftp.exe, they need to be able to
drag and drop or copy/paste
just to restate the problem: it works fine when there is anon access
but as soon as not anon and after a user login, the ie screen remains blank,
i.e.,
no files are displayed
except for the name of the virtual directory being displayed in the upper
left along with
a folder icon
or should i just post this question in an ie forum???
thanks

it should be straight forward.
Maybe I don't quite get you or you didn't quiet get me :)

Are you saying user - ftp1 login via IE will send to ftp://yourftp.com/ftp1
folder?
if yes that's normal, and if ftp1 has files it should display in he IE
windows.
you are not seeing the above ? or ?

everything works fine if i use ftp.exe in a command window
all the files show, i can send and receive files
the problem is when i use internet explorer (ie)
after a successful login, no files are listed on the ie browser window
so if no files are displayed of course its not possible to drag+drop or
copy/paste them to a local directory
so i wonder if the problem is with my ftp site or with ie?
thanks, bbx

Arrgghh. then is definitely IE.
but then I can't repro you claim.

I setup a virtual directory 'ali' inside the folder I have 'ali.txt

I fired up IE - type ftp://localhost/
it prompts for login so I entered ali details.
then I got send it to /ali folder with the url remain the same as
ftp://localhost/
and i see ali.txt in the listing.

I tested it again with Firefox - same behavior.

do you have the similar setup as above ?
