You will have to manually update the user's home folder setting to point to a valid folder.

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.<br><br>Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?<br><br>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.<br><br>ThanksSat, 02 Aug 2008 00:07:38 GMTalemos
