Hi, I'm sure this question must have been asked many times before, but I'm a
bit new to SBS2003 and I'm not sure of the terminology I should be looking
for.

I have the basic FTP server setup without problems, people can get in and
browse the ftproot structure.  However, I only want Chris to see the folder
ftproot/chris and John to see ftproot/john, and there should be no access to
the ftproot folder itself.

Is this possible with the standard FTP server in SBS2003, or do I need
something else?

Thanks.

Ok, I've found what I thought ws the right thing, however, the crucial part
for me is not working.

Microsoft id=239120

Excert from this reads:

Create a virtual directory in teh FTP site by using the MMC........., Click
New, Click Virtual Directory and then follow the steps in the wizard.  If
you want to put the user in his own or her own "root" directory, give the
virtual directory the same name as the user account.

This doesn't work.  I've created the folder, set the permissions, added the
new virtual folder, it's all named correctly, but the user user doesn't get
re-directed to their virtual folder after log on.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

What OS you running ? if w2k3, try user isolation.

if not - do you get redirected to root folder or unable to login at all ?
