While creating an FTP Site running on IIS 5 on a server that is part of a
domain. I have decided to create a LocalUsers Folder within the ftproot and
create accounts within the local users and groups for vendors, i then create
a folder called vendor1 within the local users folder i created in the ftp
root. I assign vendor1 permission with modify on that folder, I then go to
the FTP Site and choose Properties and uncheck allow ann. and point the home
directory to the path. when i launch IE ftp:// ipaddress I can log in as
vendor1 but i am able to browse the directory "which i do not want" and i can
go all the way down. if i do ftp:// ipaddress/vendor1 and supply credentials
i get an error stating an error occured opening the folder on the ftp server.
make sure you have permission to access this folder "which it does" then it
says Details, 550/folder name: the system can not find the file specified.
although it is there. can anybody help me with this?
