Create "User Isolation" Mode FTP Site

For the convenience of everyone, the established FTP site not only allows anonymous users to access, but also enables "read" and "write" permissions to the home directory. In this way, anyone can read and write without restrictions, and it is inevitable that there will be a mess. If you use IIS 6.0, simply create a ‘user quarantine’ FTP site to effectively resolve this issue.

"Quarantine User" is a new feature of the FTP component included in IIS 6.0. An FTP site configured in User Isolation mode allows the user to log in directly to the directory belonging to the user, and the user cannot view or modify the directory of other users.

Create a User Account


First create some user accounts for FTP users on the Windows Server 2003 server where the FTP site is located, so that they can use these accounts to log in to the FTP site. The operation steps are as follows:

Step 1 Right-click "My Computer" on the desktop and execute the "Manage" command in the shortcut menu that pops up.

Step 2 Open the Computer Management window and expand the Local Users and Groups directory in the left pane. Then right-click the "Users" folder in the expanded directory and execute the "New User" command in the pop-up shortcut menu to open the "New User" dialog box.

Step 3 In the relevant edit box, type the user name (such as "xiaowei") and password, cancel the "user must change this password when logging in next time" option and check "User can not change the password" and "Password never expires" and finally click the "Create" button (Figure 1).

Step 4 This will bring up the next "New User" dialog box, adding several users as needed. Once created, click the "Close" button. //This article comes from the computer software and hardware application network www.45it.com

Planning directory structure


After creating some user accounts, another key operation has begun. : Planning the folder structure (it is to create some folders). Why

said operation creates a folder is critical, this was created because "user isolation" mode FTP sites have certain requirements for names and folder structure. First you must create a folder in the NTFS partition as the home directory of the FTP site (such as "CceFTP"), then create a subfolder named "LocalUser" under the "CceFTP" folder, and finally in the "LocalUser" folder. Create several personal folders that correspond to the user's account one by one.

In addition, if you want to allow users to log in to the FTP site in User Quarantine mode anonymously, you must create a folder named "Public" under the "LocalUser" folder. After the anonymous user logs in, he can enter the "Public" folder for reading and writing operations (see Figure 2).

Tip: The subfolder name under the FTP site home directory must be "LocalUser", and the user folder created under it must be the same name as the related user account, otherwise it will not be used. User account login.

In order to verify that the document I created is really in the folder named "xiaowei", the author also deliberately opened the "xiaowei" folder under the "LocalUser" folder in the Windows Server 2003 server, and here I saw that I just created it. Documentation. There is no doubt that the setup is successful.

Tip: User login divided into two situations: You can only read and write in the "Public" directory in the future, if an anonymous user logged in, the login is successful; if is the identity of a valid user By logging in, the user can only read and write in his own directory, and cannot see other users' directories and "Public" directories.
