FTP Isolation (not using Active Directory)

I just set up Windows FTP service in Win2K3 and I created a new FTP site. I want the users on the LAN to be able to access it from their workstation computers using their assigned usernames and passwords. I also want my remote client to be able to access it. I am not running Active Directory, and hopefully I don’t need to because this is a small setup of 20 computer and 10 remote clients that works fine as it is.

Here's what I've done:

1) My Computer -> (right-click) Manage -> Users and Groups. I created a new Windows user for each workstation and assigned it a username and password. By default, they belong to the "Users" group.

2) I created the new FTP site in IIS with User

Therefore, on my c: drive, I had to create a folder structure like this:

C: \Test
---Public
-----Workstation1
-----Workstation2
-----Workstation3
-----And so on.

The Home Directory that I assigned to my FTP site is "C:\test".

3) I disabled the "Allow anonymous connections" in the "Security accounts" property of the FTP site because I only want authorized access with username and password.

4) The FTP site (folder "Public" as well as all of its subfolders) has the following Permissions:
Administrators
INTERACTIVE
IUSR
Users

5) On my Cisco, opened the right ports


PROBLEM: Everyone can access the FTP the can also access each other folder. I need this to be set up where only John Doe can see John Doe files and folder.

QUESTIONS: What can I do? I believe I set the permissions correctly. I didn’t set up Active Directory because I thought it wasn’t necessary if I just want to run an FTP server.

Help me with my PROBLEM?????

install another ftp server program, something microsoft has not touched.... its easer.

in your description of the problem, I have identified two potential issues:

1. the directory under c:\test must be "LocalUser". That is where all home directories for users from the local computer are created.

2. the fact that users log in successfully and can see each others directories indicates the site was created without the user isolation option. You should create a new site, and choose the second option: isolate users.

I assume the directory names "workstation1" etc. are identical to the user names you created.
