  FTP User Isolation + Virtual Directory Reply Contact  Hi guys,  I got the following problem I should solve: I have an IIS 6.0 FTP Server running in user isolation mode, automatically redirecting the (local) Users to root/LocalUser/username. The root folder is located on the ftp-server. This works fine.  Now a Domain-User needs access to a remote share. If it was a local folder i would just add the folder root/domain/username and it should work (as described here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/b63de8ef-e3c5-456d-a8ca-7af4198819d4.mspx?mfr=true) But he needs access to the remote share. How do I accomplish this (or is it even possible)? Create a Vdir to the remote share? How do I name it that the ftp server catches the domain-account and redirects him to the share? thank you very much for you help, yours renew

  Re: FTP User Isolation + Virtual Directory Reply Contact  Thats what I am trying to do.  Tried a VDir name of: username and also of username@domain (not the FQDN with the top level domain) And as login variants I tried username, username@domain and domain\username in every combination with the above Vdirs - none of them worked for me.  But I haven't found any evidence that this should work, so I tried to ask you guys. ;-)  Any help appreciated, yours Rene

  Re: FTP User Isolation + Virtual Directory Reply Contact here is an update on that. I didn't look at the error message I get: home directory inaccessible. The IIS tries to redirect the user to his home-dir under the FTP-Root folder which would be Domain\username I just created this path and now the user can login but is restricted to his home-directory. But as I said I need to redirect him to a shared-folder...  The only suggestion I have is to create a second FTP instance running under a different port...

  Re: FTP User Isolation + Virtual Directory Reply Contact tomkmvp: Can't you add a vdir, under root/domain that points to the share, and name it with username?  just tried that now with a local user with the same login name as the domain account (which would be a kind of dirty workaround, but it would/should work anyway....)  But event that doesn't work! I just get home directory inaccessible. When I create the home-dir again under /LocalUser/Username the home dir is accessible and I can log in (even though the virtual dir with the username is still configured in the inet-manager)  It's a little frustrating because I just thought this would be a workaround that would work anyways!  thanks for you help
