FTP-Why can’t I use an NTFS directory?

by trail99 . Updated 25 years, 10 months ago

My problem is getting my FTP server to use directories (home or virtual) on an NTFS partition.

It is set up to allow annonymous logons. I have no problems using a FAT partition for my FTP directories, but if I specify an NTFS partition in Internet Service Manager, I get an error message (next to “alias” under the directories tab) reading “ACCESS IS DENIED”(with a red stop sign)…

I also get this message in Event Viewer —-> “The server was unable to add the virtual root ‘/’ for the directory ‘f:\InetPub\ftproot’ due to the following error: Access is denied. The data is the error code.”

I have spent 2 days trying every imaginable solution-Even if I give “everyone/full control” permission, no luck!

Any answers???
