530 User cannot log in, home directory inaccessible

For those setting up FTP in AD mode on Windows 2003 Server, here are some things to keep in mind:

Make sure you use iisftp /setadprop ftpdir
Make sure you use iisftp /setadprop ftproot

Where ftproot = c:\inetpub\ftproot (or whatever root directory you want)
Where ftpdir = test (or whatever you name the folder)

In the above example, the file permissions and structure should be set for:
c:\inetpub\ftproot\test

If it still doesn’t work, make sure you right-click the user properties in active directory and look at the security tab. Each user that needs FTP access has to have “read” set for authenticated users.

If you have any issues, please ask…
