FTP on a Domain Controler

Windows 2000 server
Domain Controler
I'm trying to set up FTP. I've created a user but can't seem to log in. At one point the password was temp and it worked. I reset the password and now I can't log in. The FTP login just blinks. Also, after resetting the password there was a time when I could log in with temp even though that wasn't the reset password. If I add the user to the Administrators group I can get in with the proper password.

If sounds like the NTFS permissions need to be set on the default FTP root folder to allow the user that you created access. At least a minimum of read rights are required to login.

I added the user to the security tab of the root FTP folder. Still same problem. Another issue may be that I've change the default FTP path. It is no longer ...\inetpub\ftproot\...

I've also given the user full control at the share level.

I feel like the problem is due to the server being the Domain Controler. Thoughts?

check your policy and make your user logon locally enable. in local policy in control panel

Steve Knight

Gie your user logon locally in the domain controller policy

pcaioo

same as what i say !!

Domain controller policy is slightly different... it is a different policy that all the DC's in the Domain Controller's OU get by default. On a DC logon locally right is for Admins and Server Operators only

pcaioo

the logon locally right only needed on ftp server NOT domain controller

Steve Knight

he says it is a dc...

O Over looked... but don't think much difference.. as local policy for domain act same as domain policy in his case.
