Title: IIS 6.0 problem
Post by: Yoni on September 26, 2003, 05:44 AM
I'm configuring an IIS 6.0 FTP server and I encountered this problem:

I want to make a virtual directory, "DriveD", that points to D:\ and gives full access, but that is only accessibly by the user "Yoni".
However, D: is a FAT32 partition and I cannot set permissions on it.

Is there any way to do this without converting D: to NTFS?

I don't think so.  You aren't meant to use anything that requires security with FAT32.  IIS is designed to work with NTFS permissions, and not replace them.

Use SSL, require user certificate mappings, and only add a mapping for the user Yoni ;)

You might be able to do an end-around.  The FAT32 folder share is mapped to D: ... if you create a folder under there and share it, can you apply NTFS permissions to the share?  (as opposed to permissions on the folder itself)

There are no shares... D: is a local partition.

Create a share on D: and see if you can set NTFS permissions on the share.  Then map the share as E:.  Now create the FTP site on E: and you are set.  Works or not?

You just blew my mind :)
Now instead of a virtual directory pointing to D:\, I have a virtual directory pointing to \\localhost\DriveD. Works great, thanks!
