| Yoni | 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? | September 26, 2003, 10:44 AM |

You aren't meant to use anything that requires security with FAT32. IIS is designed to work with NTFS permissions, and not replace them. | September 26, 2003, 3:21 PM |
| Adron | Use SSL, require user certificate mappings, and only add a mapping for the user Yoni ;) | September 26, 2003, 3:30 PM |
| Grok | 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) | September 26, 2003, 4:44 PM |
| Yoni | There are no shares... D: is a local partition. | September 27, 2003, 10:16 PM |

[/quote] 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? | September 27, 2003, 10:24 PM |

[/quote] 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! | September 27, 2003, 10:40 PM |
