    Resolved [RESOLVED] FTP 530: User [username] cannot login. Home directory inaccessible.

    I have been stuck with this problem for some time now.

    System: Windows Server 2003
    Active Directory: Yes
    DNS: Yes
    POP3: Yes
    IIS6: Yes
    FTP: Yes

    I have researched everything and anything regarding this problem.
    The purpose of this is for that users can access there folder to upload website contents.

    I have setup the FTP, the user and opened port 21. Everything is ready.
    Whenever I try to login, I keep getting this error:

    530: User [username] cannot login. Home directory inaccessible.

    The root is D:\
    The FTPDir is D:\MyFTP

    I have [username] security in D:\ as Full Control

    This folder is also used with the website. Website works, user works fine with POP3, just not FTP.

    If any can help me it will be a great deail of relief.

    For those who experience the same problem. Here is some tips.

    In the Active Directory Users, make sure you set, in there profile the directory of the FTP site. Find the user in Users then right click, properties then select the profile tab. Select the FTPFolder for that user.

    Ensure that you setup you FTPRoot and FTPDir for your users.
    FTPRoot, once you set that up, it will be the same in my case D:\ being the Root. Once set then setup everyone's FTPDir.

    To setup, you use CMD/CommandPrompt.
    The commands are as follows:

    issftp /setADProp UserName FTPROOT D:\
    issftp /setADProp UserName FTPDIR D:\UserFolder

    Hope this helps
