IIS 6 FTP Login Problems
We have a default ftp site setup on our IIS 6 server. We can't get any users to login to it though. We checked local permissions for the folder structure. It constantly returns the following error:
User mckeough failed to log on, could not access the home directory /
The IIS server logs the same error in its system logs. mckeough is the admin account for the local machine, and I made sure it had full permissions on the FTP root folder. Maybe somebody could give me the steps to creating a new FTP user, pointing them to the correct FTP folder, and giving them the correct permissions. That would be great! We're operating on Windows 2003 server with IIS 6 along with Plesk. Thanks!

I am having the Exact same issue...
Was the FTP site configured to use any form of User Isolation?
What is the path to the FTP root directory?

Thanks AndresM I appreciate and if I had control of the thread I would give you the points. That link helped resolve my issues.
Adding the Localuser folder resolved my issue. Here is the resolution from that website.
I got this error due to a setup mistake. I setup a new FTP site in IIS 6 using the "Isolate Users" option. I then created folders in ftproot for each user getting access. What I did not realize is that IIS 6 expects a folder indicating the source of the account. Here is what I mean:
\\ftproot\LocalUser\%UserN
\\ftproot\%DomainName%\%Us
I was missing the middle folder in my structure.
Thank you!
