| 298174 | 2004-11-30 06:16:00 | Hi, When creating some new hosting accounts, a strange problem is happening. All newly created accounts cannot log on to FTP - all old ones can. All other account-based features work (e-mail etc), but FTP is not. I fear I may need to restart the server, but surely not? Windows 2000 Server, IIS 5 Cheers George |

| 298176 | 2004-11-30 07:41:00 | Yes, Administrators get in, non-admins don't. Perhaps that has something to do with it ;) | george12 (7) | ||
| 298177 | 2004-11-30 07:44:00 | YES!!!!! I found out that yes, if I make a problem account Admin, it works fine. But that IS a problem, because I can't really make all my hosting clients Admins! Cheers George |

| 298179 | 2004-11-30 23:21:00 | It could be that MS have finally realized that security is a bit tricky. FTP is a security problem. FTP with write privilege is a real security problem. But there's probably a way ... a special group perhaps. MS have made a downloadable (free) manual on security for W2k server. "lockdown w2k server" to Google should find the link. |
