What do you mean by 'make on all ftp servers the same ftp user folder' ?
how do you connect all NLB to the storage? all point to the cluster?

I don't see much issue if it's pure downloading or reading of files. but if
uploading, then you might get into issue, when 2 ftp users from different
node trying to upload the same file.

My question is where does the ftp authentication take place.
I have 700 ftp clients that upload 24/7.
Do I have to make userdirectories on al the nlb servers or only on the
storage directory.
I hope I did explain my questions clearly to you,..

thanks for all the comments.

Authentication took place 1) when user login in 2) when ftp send the user to
the central storage or when user navigate to the storage.

auth 2) happen in the background with no user interaction. it depends on
your configuration.
if it's domain, then domain account auth. or in workgroup if using
pass-through then the same user must exist on the share cluster nodes.

per your request. I think I will put the user directly on the storage
directory.

just curious... why not run ftp directly on storage cluster?
