I have a windows 2003 stand alone iis server that has a ftp server running.
I have 2 virtual directories that are on other servers. I am trying to
setup an ftp user so that they can access these virtual directories. What
I have already created a user on both servers so it does passthrough
authentication and assigned the proper ntfs permissions. What rights to I
have to assign the ftp users so they can access these directories?

Do you use 'connect as' or 'always send authenticated user....' ?

Anyway, either case - just make sure the account used in above has at least
READ permission on remote shared.
you will need to configure the NTFS permissions for the shared on remote
computer.

Hi,

Just as Bernard stated, if you select 'Always user the authenticated user's
credential....' option, then you have to make sure every authorized user
account have at least Read permission on the remote share directory (also
need to have NTFS permission on the FTP root directory).

If you are using 'Connect As' account, just ensure this account has
permission on the share. Then all users login to the FTP site will have the
same permission on the virtual directory based on the permission of this
'Connect As' account.

If anything is unclear, please don't hesitate to let us know. Thanks.

Best regards,
