I'm using Windows 2000 Prof. for an ftp server. I want to allow clients to login with a username and password and then be sent to their directory having access to only their directory. Login is not a problem, but I can't seem to figure out how to have the user sent to their directory. Is this possible? It sure seems like it should be. Thanks

Hi,
I've never implemented this, but I ran across instructions for it while looking into an FTP issue for a client a while ago. Check out technet articles

If you don't have a local copy you can find them by doing a searchon the article numbers at www.microsoft.com/technet

Hope it goes ok.....

Hi
Try this, it works for me.
1)Create the username (for example lets say Tom)
2)Create the directory and with the sharename Tom
3)Give the Tom the rights to access this directory NTFS
4)Then in FTP, create a virtual directory pointing
to the Tom directory
5) create the link ex:
ftp://domain/tom@my.ftpserver.com/tom
6)Now whether you include the last switch /tom or not, it will always land in that directory after he enters the right password.

Voila
