  FTP home directory Reply Contact I wish to authenticate ftp users and set their home directory(user isolation) programmatically. I have implemented the solution to authenticate ftp users described in this link http://blog.ryancammer.com/2008/07/06/custom-authentication-with-microsoft-ftp-7/ however I am having problems setting the home directory. I see that there is an interface IFtpHomeDirectoryProvider And a method public string GetUserHomeDirectoryData(string sessionId, string siteName, string userName) which I could implement (if this is what i think it is). My question is how do I configure "Microsoft FTP Service for IIS 7.0" to use this method or is there another way to programmatically set the home directory? Note: We have thousands of ftp users so configuring virtual directories is not really an option I want to consider.

  Re: FTP home directory Reply Contact Hi ctrlaltdel ! As you can read in Ryan's blog, this is not a public feature so it is not supported and things may change dramatically for the next release (renaming, adding / removing parameters or even remove the interface). I think you may end finding the way to configure it but I would encorage you to wait until it is supported. Thank you. Daniel Vasquez Lopez IIS Team

  Re: FTP home directory Reply Contact As this is critical to our business we must be able to set the home directory. The Linux guys here had it done in a few minutes and we needed to the same for windows, else it was the bullet for MS ftp. Future changes can be dealt with later. I think i have managed to get it to work by adding the following to the site ftpServer node <security>   <authentication>     <basicAuthentication enabled="false" />     <customAuthentication>       <providers>        <add name="CustomFtp" enabled="true" />      </providers>     </customAuthentication>   </authentication> </security> <customFeatures impersonationLevel="Identify">   <providers>     <add name="CustomFtp" enabled="true" />   </providers> </customFeatures> <userIsolation mode="Custom"/> Also  <system.ftpServer>         <providerDefinitions>             <add name="IisManagerAuth"  ....                       <add name="AspNetAuth"      .....                   <add name="CustomFtp"                  type="Namespace.CustomFtpProvider,CustomFtp,version=1.0.0.0,                           Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=:::::::::::::: />         </providerDefinitions> and then simply implement GetUserHomeDirectoryData and AuthenticateUser in CustomFtpProvider class
