We have a windows 2000 server and I have created a read-only FTP site where
users can come in and copy files from our site to their local machines.

Originally, I had only one directory set up and was allowing anonymous login
to the site. I had specified a user account which has no access to anything
but the FTP dir.

However, now the requirements have grown such that we want other users to
get on our site and download information from various directories within the
FTP site structure. (it has grown)

I've decided to can allowing anonymous access and have want to force people
to log on with a particular username/password. In this way, I can then
control what directories on the FTP site these users have access to.

My problem is this, I have modified the properties of the FTP site by
unchecking the 'Allow Anonymous Logon" checkbox - but it is still allowing
the anonymous user access without having to specify a username/password.

What might I be doing wrong? AM I missing something? Also, do I have to
specify somewhere who can access the site or does it simply use windows
authentication and basically any user could log on there that we have an
account for (provided they have security access to the FTP dirs...)

Thanks,

Brad

Hmmmm, it seems after a while I am now getting a log-on screen, however, no
username and password I am supplying is able to access the site. I know I
have entered valid id's.

I have also tried to create a 'virtual directory' for easier access to
certain FTP directories. Each virtual directory I create displays with a
small red icon beside it that says 'Error'. Does anyone have any idea what
might be causing this?

Thanks,

Brad
