FTP Home Directory

[Chad Guiney]

Is there a way to have a user that logs into the IIS FTP server on a Windows
2000 Server have a home directory? I dont want them to see or have access to
anything in the root of the FTP server. I have created a local user acct and
have tried to specify the home folder under the user properties but when they
log in it still goes to the root. Is there another way to accomplish this?
Thaks in advance.

Yes... there is a setting called "root directory", IIRC.

Is this setting in the user properties. I would like to specify different
root directories for different users. Where is the "root directory" setting
located.

All you have to do is create a directory (or Virtual Directory) that is
spelled that same as the user name. When they log in it will dump them into
the folder that matches the username spelling. IIS does this
automatically,...there is nothing to "do". NTFS permissions control what
files/folders they can or cannot get to.
