[DanDSHS]

Our windows 2000 NT server will not allow users to login to the FTP unless they are classified as administrators. I have the domain set up with all of the correct permissions (to my knowledge).
1. Access to FTP folders
2. Access to Read under FTP

If there is some permission not set, please let me know.

The users are added to the Domain controller under Active Directory. I saw a post about the same exact problem on another forum, but there was no answer. I would highly appreciate it if i could get some quality help.

My Peers at my highschool would highly appreciate any helpful feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using MS FTP?

yes. microsoft iis 5.0 windows 2000

If you setup a local account on the machine running FTP with access to the FTP folder does it work? If it does it may be Kerberos related. Is the domain controller Active Directory or Windows 2000?

Verify that the FTP users (it may be wise to setup a group) have access to the Home Directory for that FTP server - even if they are being redirected to their own folder via a virtual directory.

Give INTERACTIVE and NETWORK "List" access and SYSTEM "Full Control" for any folders you want users to access. I'm not sure if this is "too loose" but it has worked for me for years.

Hope this helps.
