WEBSITEPANEL - FTP Users cannot log in

Hi Folks

I have just installed WebsitePanel onto one of my Windows 2008 R2 servers in order to see how good it is. Looking OK so far but have run into an issue I cannot resolve. Wonder if you can help?

I have set up the FTP default site. I have set up the groups for websitepanel. Created a domain, a user, an FTP user but when FTPing into the server get:

530 User cannot log in, home directory inaccessible.
ftp: Login failed

Baffled. I have look at auth rules but all look OK. Any ideas?

Cheers
Chris

Hi David

Thanks very much for the detailed reply. My issue appears to be specifically related to the WebsitePanel setup etc. I have set up the FTP service as well as the extensible service on the system. The accounts have been created by WebsitePanel as I expected they should, however, when trying to actually FTP into the server using the accounts created (I created more than one just in case I messed up the first time) we get the error I mention above.

Any thoughts on this would be sincerely appreciated.

Cheers
Chris

Thanks! Your detailed description and links have helped a lot. Although I haven't been able to resolve it 100% I'm a long way further down the line with it because of your comment.
