How can I use the same virtual directory alias and user name to logon?


I use windows server 2003 and when I create an ftp virtual directory named xxx the user name xxx cannot logon! Any idea how logon will not fail using the same name for virtual directory and ure name?

It's not a matter of permissions, when I creat a user with a user name different than that of the virtual directory alias there is no logon problem. The logon problem accurs only is when virtual directory alias and user name are the same

dmox,

Yes
Dave_Dietz,

all are set up

The user has Read permissions on this directory and is included in the 'Bypass Travers Checking' policy on the machine (default) *and* has at least Read permissions on the target directory and *all* parent directories all the way up to the root directory of the drive

Problem is shorted out.

When I use
ftp://username:password@ftp.domain.com/username
it does not work!

However, when I use
ftp://username:password@ftp.domain.com
it does work!

I was told that this is a particularity of ftp protocol when the "username" and "directory name" are the same.

Thanks to all,
Pavlos
