Re: Complete Newb @ IIS - How to Create User FTP account?

Hi,

If you want to use isolate users, the users’ home directory must match their username. For the detailed information, you can refer to:

Isolating FTP Users (IIS 6.0)

Just to update - I've gone to Computer Management and created a user account. Set up a home directory for the web site I want access too.. Then I went to Inetpub\wwwroot\website.com, right clicked the folder to be sure that in the security tab the user was there & had correct permissions. But I still can't log on to the ftp with that user account.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Complete Newb @ IIS - How to Create User FTP account?

In IIS, I'm completely dumbfounded currently. I've never even tried using it before. I'm trying to create an FTP account that has access only to a certain folder. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would walk me through creating a user and setting a home directory so that the user is 'isolated'.

Anyone care to help?
