How to restrict to folder access in Windows Server 2008

Hello Experts,

We've created remote desktop users in windows server 2008 R2 Standard & every user have an own folder in D: drive, how to restrict to folder access to user among themselves along with d: drive. Only one folder everyone can access e.g. D:\FTP.

e.g.

Remote User            Folder in D:\            Allowed Access            Restrict Access

administrator      N/A                        Complete D:\            N/A
Philips                  Philips                  Philips                        Dell, Root, Wendy, Manager
Dell                          Dell                        Dell                                Philips, Root, Wendy, Manager
Root                  Root                  Root                        Philips, Dell, Wendy, Manager
Wendy                  Wendy                  Wendy                        Philips, Dell, Root, Manager
Manager              Manager            Manager                  Philips, Dell, Root, Wendy
N/A                        FTP                        ALL Users                  N/A

Put RDP users to some RDP group and restrict access for this group to all drives except D
It should be easy.
Just remove Write, Delete and List Folder right and all should work
Is this server joined to AD domain ? You can restrict user access by providing permission from Security Tab.

AD not configured over there, need to configure permission manually.
So if no AD, and you're using RDP to server you must create all users as local server users, put them to one single group and create permissions for this group
AD or no AD, you still do it by providing permission from Security Tab.

  1. Create a local user account for each user
  2. Create a local group and add all these users into it
  3. Create FTP folder. Edit security. Remove Creator Owner, Users and add the new group with "List Folder" permission to only FTP
  4. Create a folder for each user. Remove Creator Owner, Users and add the correct user account with modify permissions
