Not quite sure what to make of this. Our FTP access is based strictly on isolated user accounts, so nothing is tied to AD. All users are set up locally. Yesterday, I created a new folder for a user and then created the new user ID. I then, like I always do, assign r/w security permissions to the folder for that user. Yet, we can't get on via FTP now. Any time we try to access the folder via FTP, we get the following error: &quot;failed to log on, could not access the home directory /.&quot; The odd thing is that I can get on via Firefox, but if I refresh the page, I get that error message again.<br />
<br />
NOTHING has changed on the server that we know of. I deleted the directory and user and re-added them. Still won't work. I have a consultant looking at this issue and he's stumped. We really need to be able to create these new users and directories and this is holding up a lot of work for us. <br />
<br />
One other thing. I downloaded filemom.exe and when this directory is accessed, this is what's logged: 2:49:35 PM &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;inetinfo.exe:4152 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OPEN &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E:\FTPDATA\LocalUser\*****<wbr />*\ &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOT FOUND &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Options: Open &nbsp;Access: Read &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />

FTP no longer allowing access to new users

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.

Server Software

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
