Hello-
I was having problems getting FTP users logged into a new 2008 R2 box and wanted to share my experience in case anyone finds it useful, and I welcome any feedback as I am not entirely sure what this process did but it works.
First and foremost, follow the instructions for configuring FTP on IIS 7 in the knowledgebase with the exception of downloading the FTP publishing tool. Just install FTP as a role component under IIS. Once you have completed the steps:
Click your Default FTP Site in the left pane of IIS Manager
Click FTP Authorization Rules in the right pane
Click Open Feature
Click Add Allow Rule...
Choose Specify roles or user groups: Enter dnpftpusers (assuming you chose that name for your ftp group in AD)
Set both read and write permissions
Click ok
Go back to the Default FTP Site
Click FTP User Isolation from the right pane
Click open feature
Choose User name directory
Click apply
That should do it. FTP magically works again. So far this does not appear to give users access to anything they should not access, but again, I welcome any feedback.
