IIS and FTP

[Schoolies]

Ok, I looked at the Microsoft help files and figured out how to make an ftp account but it still will not let me log in.

I have created a new account, ftpuser. Set IIS to not allow anonymous connections. I allowed ftpuser the log on locally right. The NTFS permissions gives ftpuser full permissions. I disabled my firewall just to make sure but I don't think that's the problem because I can get the login option but no matter what username/password I use. If I use Internet Explorer, the error message goes by too quikly but when I try to get in through WS_FTP, it says incorrect username/password.

What am I missing?

Have you configured IIS to allow that user FTP access? The Logon Locally right is irrelevant. What you need to do is:
[*]Open up your IIS Admin console
[*]Bring up the property page for your FTP server.
[*]Select the Security Accounts tab.
[*]Add your account to the FTP Operators list.

That should let the account log in.

Ahhh... I had done that before, I swear! :0

Even if I have Active Directory on my server, I don't need to allow 'log on interactively' ? The site IIS FAQ said I did, link, but either way you got me working so thank you very much.
