FTP home directory help

[merreckB]

I have a folder on the F drive called xyz and a subfolder called xy. My user only has access to the xy folder (which is how I want it). When they ftp in, I would like xy to be their home folder. Right now, when then ftp in, they go to the root of F:.
I have set up their username in AD for their home directory to point to F:\xy but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paula

Think so...

Try setting the home directory to f:\xyz\xy

They still won't have permission to the above folder, but I'm thinking you do need to list the whole path

It's worth a shot at least. (Since f:\xy doesn't really exist, right?)

I have already done that. In AD the home directory is F:\xyz\xy but it goes to the F drive anyhow.

hmm - well on my user directories now - and profile directories I use the full UNC name - try that yet?

\\servername\sharename\xy

Could share xyz as something.. I'm just looking at it from an AD standpoint, I haven't really fooled around with FTP since NT4, and then had used a 3rd party product.

Can't do that in AD - I get prompted to use drive\\path.
Where r u putting the full name?

hmm - well, I'm talking just under the user's profile for Home Directory and User Profile.

So I'm not 100% sure on where you are looking at these changes. In my case, I would be editing a user object - typical user account, and setting up the profile and home directory locations.

So if I'm way off - feel free to completely disregard me! lol

Just an FYI in case someone else has this issue. I found the answer:
The username has to be the same name as the folder. Because this was not a home directory I didn't even give it a second thought.
Thanks to all.
