hmmm....i still cant find how to set up user accounts. Anyone know how??? I dont want anonymous.

You first need to remove ANONYMOUS access. You then need to create user account within Computer Management (if on a Windows 2000 Professional or stand-alone server version) or Active Directory Users and Computers (if on a Domain Controller). You will also have to specify the LOCAL PATH in the HOME FOLDER section in the PROFILE tab of the user account.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

i think i get it...

so i dont need to set up a user for the ftp server persay, but a user for my computer in general, and then the ftp server recognizes that user....right??

i'm getting it.. what's the difference between profile path and local path? and what's logon script?

 

[Shadow07]

Profile path is for Roaming profiles. Local path is the path the client will default to whenever it attempts to save a document or when you run either COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE to get a command prompt.

Logon Scripts are used for when users log onto a domain or the local computer, an administrator can have a script that maps drives or LPT ports or adds entries to the registry or reads entries in the registry, etc. The only area you need to worry about is the HOME PATH. That will specify what folder the FTP User will log into and also browse.

Again, if you have any further questions, let me know.
