I was trying to reproduce an issue posted on the forums @ (http://forums.iis.net). As with many posts, I mention use Process Monitor. Here is a perfect example.
-
Find out what PID (process ID) in task manager
-
Open Process Monitor and isolate the PID (This helps cutdown on noise)
-
Reproduce the issue. (In my case, notice the highlighted line, it’s looking for c:domainsftprootssuser1). I have the FTP 7.0 service running on a domain controller. It means I need to create the SS (NetBIOS name) as a virtual directory for user isolation. I don’t recommend running FTP on a domain controller, so this is for demo purposes. PS: Once I added the SS virtual directory, I was able to use FTP user isolation.

Here is an article how to setup FTP 7.0

I thank Mark for creating Process Monitor!
