I am setting up an IIS 7.0 FTP Server on a Windows 2008 Server Standard Edition Domain Controller.
I have FTP User Isolation set to:
User name physical directory (enable global virtual directories)
I have FTP Directory Browsing set to:
MS-DOS and Virtual Directories
I have created a user called userabc and I have created a folder
%SystemDrive%/inetpub/ftproot/userabc.
In IIS, I created a virtual directory inside the userabc folder calledFiles that points to C:\Files.
I set the permissions on C:\Files to allow the user userabc to access it and the virtual directory'sTest Settings... result in nominal.
When I FTP in as userabc, I cannot see the virtual directory listed when I do adir command.
I have read several articles talking to this issue and they said to create a physical directory in the FTP user's physical directory that has the same name as the virtual directory so thedir command would list the name of the virtual directory. I tried that and although I am now seeing an entry in thedir output called Files, it is the physical directory that I created and not the virtual directory. If Icd in to Files, I see the contents of the physical directory, not the contents of the virtual directory.
So, can anyone tell me the secret to making user virtual directories work in IIS 7 FTP?
Thanks in advance.
