Cannot access FTP
Hello All,
I've created an isolation ftp site under Windows 2008 R2, administrator can log in fine without any problem, but other users cannot log in.
they kept getting: 503 User cannot log in, home directory inaccessible.
I have:
h:\FTPHome\LocalUser\Admin istrator (Administrator has right to this directory)
h:\FTPHome\LocalUser\FTPTe st1 (user FTPTest1 has right to this directory)
h:\FTPHome\LocalUser\PaulT (PaulT has right to this directory)
Like I have said, administrator logged in fine, but the other 2 users get the 503 error above.
Thanks for your help.

the two non-admin users don't have access to the h:\FTPHome\LocalUser
Should I manually give them rights to the directory?
if this is the case, then I have to do this every time I add new ftp users (that's time consuming, because I create a lot of ftp users).
How do I use "the Bypass traverse checking security right for your FTP Users"?
Thanks

I checked to make sure and yes, the "Users" group have Read, Execute and List Folder Contents to both H:\FTPHome and F:\FTPHome\LocalUser
and both non-admin users are members of the "User" group.
So wonder why it's not working.

I deleted the ftp and recreated and it worked.
on the "Bypass Traverse Checking" option.
it currently has: Administrators, Backup Operators, Everyone, LOCAL SERVICE, NETWORK SERVICE, Users.
Do I need to remove any of these at all?

You might also want to check the Local Security Policy to ensure Users (or a group containing your FTP Users, is granted the 'Access this computer From the Network' security right (and is not assigned the "Deny access to this computer from the network" security right)
You'll also want to use the Bypass traverse checking security right for your FTP Users. This should prevent the OS from performing security checks up the file structure & will improve performance.
