Hi All: I have a server with FTP7 installed. I wanted to set up a single FTP site and use basic user authentication give users access to different folders.
I created the ftp site, selecting read permissions and "do not isolate users..." checking "start users in user name directory".
There are multiple websites in InetPub...wwwroot as well as several other websites at the same level as wwwroot.
When I created the ftp site, I made it's root "InetPub", with the intention of creating virtual FTP directories by username with their roots one level below "InetPub" ( a if "joe" logs in his root would be his website root).
I created a local user "joe" and created a virtual FTP directory called "joe" with a particular subdirectory in InetPub as his "root". I gave that user "write" permissions in the security settings for the virtual directory. I checked the actual physical
folder's permissions and noted that the user's name and permissions were there as well.
When I log in with that users' name and password via FTP, I'm taken to the correct directory, and I can list and read files, but I can't upload. When I try to PUT I get "550 Access is denied."
Where am I going wrong? Also is this the wrong way to handle granting access to different users?
