    (FTP) IISWMSVC_AUTHENTICATION_UNABLE_TO_READ_CONFIG

    Hi,

    I'm getting the following the following error. My setup is (the new) FTP7 running on IIS7. Authentication works fine when I use Anonymous or Basic Authentication, but when I try to use IISManagerAuth I get the error below. I've followed all the necessary steps to create IIS Manager users, and add them to the FTP site. The error below looks more like an internal error rather than me not setting something up properly.

    Googling for this error only brings up three results, none of which helps very much.

    Can anybody shed any light? I really don't want to have to create windows users to get it working under Basic Authentication.

     

     IISWMSVC_AUTHENTICATION_UNABLE_TO_READ_CONFIG

    An unexpected error occurred while retrieving the authentication information.

    Exception:System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

    Thanks,

    Tim

    Tim,

     For InetMgr Authentication to work, Network Service needs permission on IIS Config files. Can you please follow this article from the site's LEARN section?

    Thanks

    I meet the same question.  Although I can config the IIS Manager Authentication for FTP Publish Service 7.5 in IIS7 Manager  successfully ,  ftp site cannot be visited by IIS-managed user.  When I try to access an ftp site from windows explorer , the credential prompt window popup ; however , when i trying to login  with IIS-username/password i am always denied.

    You can getting same read config error? If not, doubt you are in same issue with previous post. Can you login to the ftp log for more clues?
