Windows FTP Server

[marcb2k]

I set up an FTP server on a windows 2000 box. I cannot get any user to log in that are not in the administrators group. Any thoughts?

Make sure that the folder serving as the ftp root has the correct permissions to allow other users to access it. If they need to FTP files TO the server, make sure they have write access.

Thanks for the advice, but I originally created a group just for that purpose and placed one user in the group for testing. That group has NTFS permissions to read and list the folders contents. I also tried to add that user with full control but that made no difference.

Thanks again

Another thing to check... in IIS, right-click on the FTP site and go to Properties. Click on Security Accounts. Has the group you created been added to the FTP Site Operators?

I already tried that. Adding the group made no difference. The user I am using is only a member of the ftp group I created originally. If I add that user to the administrators group I get right in.

You might want to check your security permissions (local permissions for the folders you've shared) along with your share permissions. This messed me up on my ftp server.

I have verified that both NTFS and Sharing allow the group I created to read. I tested it on my LAN and that user can access the directory and files with out an issue. Just not when I come in using FTP.

That group is also set-up in the FTP operators.

So far the only way to allow anyone in to my ftp is by adding them to the administrators group.

The strange thing is that the admin group is not in the NTFS or Sharing permissions for the ftp directory.

The solution was to add the group to the log on locally policy. Since I am setup as a domain I had to add it to the Domain Security Policy.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
