The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

home directory inaccessible - unable to login FTP server on IIS 6.0

Asked by simplyamazing in Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: directory, home, ftp, inaccessible, iis

Hi all,

I have a Win2003, standalone, server with service pack 1 for windows server 2003 on it.
The problem is that, no matter what I do, I can't seem to get any FTP accounts to work. (I've done this dozens of times on W2K3 before and this one has got me completely stumped - the only difference now is that this is Service Pack 1 and the others were not - so it is probably a new "feature" from MS).

Here goes:
I set up a group called FTPUSERS, gave it "Log On Locally" rights in the local policy.
Then I created several user accounts.
Each account has a login name matching its virtual folder.
The permissions on the folder(s) are set for all the ftp users and groups.

When I try to FTP into the server, I get the "user fred cannot login, home directory inaccessible" error.  (no matter the  user)

After verifying the passwords, logins, turning off the firewall, giving full control permissions to the user(s) and to the FTPUSERS group and basically making the server completely open (to attack), I STILL CANNOT LOG IN!

I've done this so many times before, I am completely baffled as to why this is happening now. It's a completely brand new machine with no other services running except IIS 6.

I checked Microsoft's site for a patch or bugfix with no luck.
I'm certain it has to do with Service Pack 1 as I've never had problems with this before but I cannot uninstall the Service Pack.

Anyone?
