require password ftp under xp - Inetserver

In the FTP virtual server check "write" access.

In the FTP root folder, add or remove permissions to do tasks as appropriate
by right-clicking on the root folder (or sub folders) and going to
"permissions" part of the properties box.

something not working
i created a test folder under the default ftp root folder and
disallowed anonymous access
removed the xp default anonymous internet user account from the folder, it
still has admin, system, and creator owner
created a new user with a username and pswd that had read, write, and list
folder only permissions
i removed the inherited properties
now when i try to access the folder via ftp protocol in ie, i get permission
denied, there is no prompt for a username and password
obviously i'm missing something on how to do this

In properties, disable "inherit permissions".

Then add the permissions on there. Keep in mind, the log in event is going
to authenticate you to the FTP service. From there, the normal message to
deny or allow is going to be automatic, either the unprivledged user gets an
'access denied' or a privledged user is allowed in. You will _not_ get
another login prompt to change users.

i was trying to setup inetpub/ftproot/ftpTarget
i never get a login prompt, only permission denied
i had tried to change permissions in ftproot thinking that would affect
ftpTarget but........................ what a mess
i'm starting over, after changing ftproot permissions of the default user
accounts, everyone and users,
there are now multiple entries for both everyone and users and i can't seem
to clear that up and get a fresh start
in a clean start, should i just adjust permissions for the folder in
question?
thanks

i have read a bunch of articles on configuring ftp for different users only
being able to see certain or their folders
and of couse being prompted for their username login to gain access, but am
not getting it
i have inetpub/ftproot
i would like to have folders for ftpuser1 read only,
ftpuser2 r+w.
my first attempt is to create inetpub/ftproot/ftpuser1, create a user
ftpuser1 with read only permissions
and inetpub/ftproot/ftpuser2, create a user ftpuser2 with r+w permissions
there,
i will keep the default iss ftp root folder as inetpub/ftproot
but my logic always seems to be at odds with the microsoft way of seeing
things

Mmm. this should be pretty straight forward:
a) setup your ftp sites with required directory
b) uncheck anonymous access
c) create ftpuser1 and ftpuser2 account
d) grant r+w for user2 for ftp directory
e) grant read only for user 1
f) go to command prompt, enter ftp.exe

login and test it out.
