Windows Server

Hi all..

First of all, I have Windows Server 2003 with AD.

I need some users to update its Web content by mean of a FTP site. I looked
at FTP site options and found the option to isolate users according to the
path defined in AD.

The question is: where in AD do I need to define the path? In Profile Tab I
see Home folder. I placed there the directory where the AD user can access
but it didn't work (when I log in using FTP, server disconnects me).

Can you point me to the right direction please?

Thanks
Jaime

I have not tried it myself but the link below may help if you refer to the
last section and I pasted a pertinent paragraph. You may also want to post
in an IIS6 newsgroup. --- Steve

Click Next and confirm the password and complete the wizard in the usual
way. You'll notice that you weren't prompted to specify a root directory for
the new FTP site. This is because when you use this approach each user's FTP
home directory is defined by two environment variables: %ftproot% which
defines the root directory and can be anywhere including a UNC path to a
network share on another machine such as \\test220\docs, and %ftpdir% which
can be set to %username% so that for example Bob Smith's FTP home directory
would be \\test220\docs\bsmith and this folder would have to be created
beforehand for him. You could set these environment variables using a logon
script and assign the script using Group Policy, but that's beyond the scope
of this present article
