ftp logon problems

[Gottfried Eibner]

Hi all,

I configured a ftp service on a win 2000 server with anonymous
logon disabled.
My problem is that the domain-users should logon using ftp. But none of the
users are allowd to logon. The only users that are actually allowed to
enter ftp are from the domain-admin group.

Has anyone made similar experiences and resolved the puzzle.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I known this problem was already posted, but I did not find any solutions
out there in any newsgroup...

See the link below. I don't use FTP so can not be a whole lot more help but it may be
related to the users group not having "logon locally" user right for the server. The
users also would need ntfs permissions to the directory that you use. Just so you
know, when you use passwords to access FTP the passwords are sent in clear text I
believe. --- Steve

Thank you for the links.
It were the Security Policies for *DCs* that I have to change.
On your DC open 'Administrative Tools'-> *'Security Policies for
Domaincontrollers'* (not 'Local Security Policy')
Expand 'Security Policies'-> 'Local Policies' -> 'User Rights Assignment'.
Double click *'Log on locally'* add users or groups you want to logon via
*ftp*.
The logged on users have access to the ftp-files/folders as declared by your
NTFS-settings for the files/folders.
