Hello!
I have 5 servers in my network.
Login server
Exchange server
Web and ftp server
Fileserver
Applicationserver

I want users to login on the ftp server. How do I make this possible? At this moment the only one who can login is the administrator. Anyone knows how to do it?
For example I want the user Joe to login with his password and then get access to the files on the FTP server.

You have to create local users on the ftp server. The easiest way of setting this up is to set a folder as the root of the ftp server, and then name the folders below with the same names as the usernames, which means that when your ftp users login, they will automatically be dropped into their folder. Be sure to set security though so that users can't navigate to other users fodlers, if that is required.
