I need to set up a FTP site on our server so our cients can download files. I selected Isolate Users options and and folowing structure:
c:\myFTP\Localusers\user1
\user2

What is the next step??
1. How should user1 access their ftp site? ftp.something.com/user1 ???
2.Where do I assign username and password for them?
thx

okay, with my current setup:
c:\myFTP\Localusers\user1
\user2
.......
I do have a domain with AD, can they access like this?
ftp.something.com/user1???
from the artical I read sais that that can only access their folder not the home/root folder, but with security setting, how can I set it up so that can only access child folder(theirs) but not root? thx

Then, yes...just add the trailing /userfolder on the address.
Alternatly you can give "Authenticated Users" list access in the root folder and they can drill down to their folder from there. List access will prevent them from reading or writing to that directory, but will allow them to traverse it

hmm....it does not work.........
I have "LocalUsers" above "user1", I do not need this, right?
ftp.something.com/localusers/user1 ???
or just
ftp.something.com/user1???

Are you wanting to use local user accounts or domain user accounts in active directory?

okay, here is what I want....(sorry, never set up FTP site b4)
if possible, I want to use AD to control who can access FTP site, each user can only access their folder....

so, when I create a new FTP site, there are 3 options:
-Do not isolate
-Isolate users
--Isolate users with AD

I use Do not isolate to set it up....
I do not even have to ftp.something.com/user1 this, it can match up the folder name because it is the same as folder name, is this normal....??
Also, they can not even "go back" to root folder.......
not sure if this is right though...thx

Thank you
welcome...thank you for the points....best of luck.
They can use IE to access with ftp://username:password@servername
They can also use a ftp client (WSFTP, CuteFTP, Fetch, etc...) to access. In this case the address would be just the servername (could be FQN or netbios)
