The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Administrator can't login to FTP site root folder

Asked by Die-Tech in Microsoft IIS Web Server, Windows 2003 Server, File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Tags: ,

We're using Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.

I've setup an FTP site with the "Isolate Users" option (non-AD)
I've setup the ftproot folder as below
ftproot
      LocalUser
                Customer1
                Customer2
                Public

When I try to access the FTP site using Customer1's credentials, I am able to login fine and see files in ftproot/LocalUser/Customer1

When I try to access the FTP site using Administrator's credentials, I can't login and I get the message
530 User Administrator cannot login, home directory inaccessible.

If I add a folder for Administrator... as in the example below.... Administrator can login fine but can only see ftproot/LocalUser/Administrator

ftproot
      LocalUser
                Administrator
                Customer1
                Customer2
                Public

The webserver not in a domain... it's in it's own workgroup.
User Administrator has full security permission to the root of the drive and the ftproot folder shows inherited permissions.

What I would like to do is this...
I have an internal account called Upload
1.  I would like Upload to be able to connect to the FTP server and see ftproot and all it's subfolders.
2.  I would like the anonymous account to connect to the FTP server and only see ftproot/LocalUser/Public
3.  Any customer accounts would be able to connect to the FTP server and only see
      ftproot/LocalUser/CustomerName  folder

Item 3 seems to work fine now...
Item 2 also seems to work fine now...

Item 1 is the problem....  I can't even do this as the Administrator...
I think once we can figure out why the Administrator account can't connect via FTP and see the root, I'll be able to get it to work on the "Upload" user account.

Any ideas?
