I need help!
I want to configure my ftp site to enable multiple users the ability upload files to it but at the same time restricting them from viewing others directory. I set it up initially unchecking Allow only anonymous connections option. But I realized that when they ftp to the site using their user name and password, they have access to the other users??? folders and can browse their content.
Here comes Isolate user. This is what I did after reinstalling the ftp windows component.
In windows 2003, I first created the local user accounts (101, 102 and 103) on the computer. Next, the ftp site was created with the Isolate users option selected. In the ftproot folder, I created another folder called LocalUser and then created individual folders in it with names (101, 102 and 103) as the local user accounts created.
On the browser of a second computer, I typed: ftp://ipaddress on its url and it throws up a login challenge to enter the local user name and password. When these are entered, it throws up the challenge again and again. I have tried this for most of the account created.
What can one do to esolve this?
