Hi Friends!

I am facing a real problem on accessing ftp site over DTS.

I have created FTP site in IIS with following details:

Allow Anonymous Connection : checkbox checked

Username: METALINK/chandrajits ---> First one is domain and second one is windows user name. This is a NT user in which I am working. My os is Win XP professional, IIS is installed in my machine. My system is connected with windows 2000 server where NT users are defined.

Password: ****** ----> Given password is the same password for above NT User.

Default FTP Site:

IP Address: 192.168.1.4

TCP Port : 21

Enable Logging: Checked

Username and password are the same as given above.

allow anonymous connections: Checked

allow only anonymous connections: Checked

allow IIS to contril password: Unchecked

Name of the virtual Directory: chandrajits

Actual folder path: F:FtpFiles

when I am accessing ftp sith in browser with following URL:

ftp://192.168.1.4/chandrajits

ftp://localhost/chandrajits

its working and shoiwing the files

But I have created a DTS package with

File Tranfer protocal Task, where

source URL: ftp://192.168.1.4/chandrajits

(OR ftp://localhost/chandrajits)

Username: METALINK/chandrajits

(OR chandrajits)

password: ********** -----> same password as I used for 'chandrajits' during windows login.

its showing one error given below:

Unable to Connect to Internet! Please Check the Source Site Information, Your username and password.

Please help!!! My all works are stopped because of this.

That's prety good!..one more thing, to your Rule #1: If (virdir name = user name) Then (path of virdir takes affect), but if there is a group of users, then how to set the virdir name? setup virdir for each user (same as its username) in that group then point to the same directory....or just needs set virdir name as group name?

thanks

Great article;

I had seen a setup similar to this before, but never knew quite how the whole thing actually worked! Your article allowed me to reproduce the setup to what I was looking for.

Hi Soner,

If you create a windows user through Administrative Tools -> Computer Management, that username/password is what is used for the FTP account. If that user has adequate permissions on disk, they will be able to utilize their account. With that in mind, these blogs should lead you through the rest of the process.

Thanks, Scott. This is an outstanding article! I've been an IIS admin for years and I've always avoided using MS FTP because of its clunkiness and potential security risks. You've provided a simple solution that un-muddy's the waters on Microsoft's User Isolation model for FTP. (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/b63de8ef-e3c5-456d-a8ca-7af4198819d4.mspx?mfr=true)

Good job!
