Can I send users to default FTP folders?

[ariddick]

I have many FTP users that access my WebServer on Windows 2000 Server. Currently, everyone is dumped to the ftproot and then sent to their folder if their username matches the folder name. However, I am trying to group several websites under a user's folder. Is there any way to get the respective users to their folder under this main folder? This does not happen since their usernames do not match a folder at the root. Or, is there a way to setup a second FTP site on the same server. If not, does anybody have FTP software that would support this?

Thanks,

Hi,

If memory serves, try setting the folder permissions so that each user only has access to their folder, and has 'No Access' to all others. When they log in they should fall through to their folder without having to navigate.

You could set up additional ftp sites, but they would need to run on different ports, so you may have issues with the firewall, if they're going through one, as well as having to give users the port numbers for their specific site.
