| Hi everyone,
I have version 5 installed in a server. Since I don't want users logged in to have their "user folder", I have disabled the automatic creation of user folders. I have folders for each user to access. But whenever a user logs in without specifying one of these folders, they get a 550:Folder Not Found error (the user directory does not exist, of course!). Now, from what I understood, when a user does not have a user directory, they get logged on to the root directory automatically, so they should never get the Folder Not Found error. I even forced the option to log the user to the root directory, but they still get that error.
Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?
Is there a way to configure the user directory programatically? I use an external MSSQL database but the user directory is not amoung the field list for external databases.
Thanks |

Hi, thanks for the reply. They have access to the SERVER root directory. But the USER DIRECTORY in the user properties does not exist.

| | What is the exact version of Server 5 you are running? What client are you testing with? If you have the users set to login to their home folder and that folder does not exist (as is the case when you removed the option to auto create home folders) you will get the 'folder not found' error. You will have to manually update the user's home folder setting to point to a valid folder. This can be done in the server console, or in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\iFtpSvc\Domains\YOUR_HOSTNAME\Users\USERNAME If you set the host to login users to Root, you will need to make sure (as was posted above) that you have given the users permission to the root of the FTP server. If you still have trouble, please add a log from the FTP client you are testing with so I can see the communication that is happening.

| Thank you for your reply. You are spot on.
The Server Manager says 5.05. Is that the same as the server version?
You are right, since the user folder does not exist (not created), I get that error. Now, is there any way to modify this programatically using the server's API? Or do I have to write a program to do this directly in the registry?
Best regards |
