Hello,
i am working at a university in texas as admin. My problem is as follows :
we basically have a setup for creating course accounts for students on a server. It includes FTP acces to there respective folder on the server to the students. The students have an account on the domain controller. The server which houses the FTP server has the following : Win2003 server, IIS 6.0. The problem here is that when am trying to access a folder through FTP (student course account), i am able to access the folder with the username and password of any user, provided the student has an account on the domain controller. But, only the student to whom the folder belongs to, should get the access and not any user. The partition used in NTFS. And each student folder has been given access to his respective folder by adding the students account to the folder secutity permissions. I tried re-creating the complete FTP website, by selecting the 'Isolate Users' option inside the FTP website creation options, but in this case i am locked in the sence i can create folder for users only inside the FTP root and not anywhere else. Besides the name of the fodler needs to be same as the name of the students, which is not the case in case of our existing folder setup here.
I have theis functionality working on oneof our other servers. On this server, each user is able to access only his own folder or folders inside the FTP, and the folders are not inside the FTP root. Again the partition is NTFS and each user has been added to the folder - security permissions.I tried copying the FTP server contents from the IIS metabase.xml file from this server to the other server on which i amhaving problems, but even that did'nt help.
Please, do let me know if anyone knows anything about this FTP issue. i'll be realy thankfull !!
