  Using FTP accounts Reply Contact  Okay, so I've covered just about everything in the learning I've done here about IIS7, and I'm pleased with my success. My next step, which is something I am completely illiterate about, is allowing people to "sign into" their site via an FTP client, now I know a little idea of what I can do, but what I have tried has failed miserably.  I've made my website, it's on the 'net, and php works great, https works great...now I am ready to do some ftp testing but I dont know how to allow someone to "log in" to their site via ftp?...I dont know how to delegate the permissions. I know they need a user account on the machine, my first tries were making regular user accounts, then adding them into the IIS_IUSRS group followed by adding the appropriate permissions on the folder their site lays in (for example...my test site is at D:\SPG\XMB\)...the site is running fine on the internet, but I've not been able to connect to it through a test User account like I described above.   I would much appreciate any help. :)  - Nick Dodd Executive Producer, Project Coordinator Tensioncore http://www.tensioncore.com

  Re: Using FTP accounts Reply Contact which ftp component you installed ? the IIS 6 FTP which come default with W2k8 or Vista ? or the new separate download from iis.net?  If this is the new component from iis.net, you can either use a local windows account or IIS Manager user. http://www.iis.net/articles/view.aspx/IIS7/Managing-IIS7/Using-FTP-Server-in-IIS7/Configure-IIS-Manager-Authentication   Cheers, Bernard Cheah

  Re: Using FTP accounts Reply Contact You need to enable the BASIC authentication, allow the particular user or 'All Users' permission then make sure the folder security is setup.  There is some options in the FTP settings to set where the user gets dropped, their home directory, here is the link to the Program managers blog who is in charge of FTP 7.0, it has some good tips / tricks. http://blogs.msdn.com/robert_mcmurray/archive/2007/04/26/ftp-7-beta-is-released.aspx Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.IISLogs.com Log archival solution Install, Configure, Forget

  Re: Using FTP accounts Reply Contact I'll step by step what I have done. It doesn't work.   Run lusrmgr.msc Open "Users" folder. Created new user named "TCH-Beta" Assigned password Assigned "Home Folder, Local Path" to D:\SPG\XMB Assigned the user TCH-Beta to the "Hosting Accounts" User Group. Insured "Basic Authentication" was chosen in FTP Authentication Opened IIS7 Manager, added FTP Publishing to the "XMB-Test" site, and created an "Allow" Authorization Rule for "TCH-Beta"  Added the user "TCH-Beta" privileges to the Folder "D:\SPG\XMB"   this sounds as though the proper method to accomplish  FTP  access for a given user, but when I attempt a logon I get the error:   530-user TCH-Beta cannot log in: Home directory inaccessible. win32 error: Access Denied Error Details: Authorization Rules Denied the access 530 end  - Nick Dodd Executive Producer, Project Coordinator Tensioncore http://www.tensioncore.com

I would try filemon to trace and see where does IIS FTP sending the user to and whether user has permission to access it. Cheers, Bernard Cheah

  Re: Using FTP accounts Reply Contact I have no idea why it wont let me logon via cmd/ftp.exe, but It will let me logon via an FTP Client that I use.   is that normal? See I'm trying to logon using another user account (not Administrator)...and this is when it's not letting me....but see I try it out using my FTP client and it all works perfectly  .... I found a problem... It's not letting me logon when the ftp port is 21...my main website (the not-so- test) site is on port 21, but when I changed the test site's ftp port to 27 then it worked fine...? shouldn't ftp server be on port 21? as like default for all sites to logon?  - Nick Dodd Executive Producer, Project Coordinator Tensioncore http://www.tensioncore.com

  Re: Using FTP accounts Reply Contact LOL... for filemon log you can try the filtering feature... the new ftp service is under svchost.exe I believe. or just do a search on the ftp user account? Next, I would suggest you ftp locally at the machine first. and if you can't even ftp locally, check and ensure windows firewall make sure ftp inbound rules is enabled or temporary disable windows firewall to test it.
