IIS 7.5 FTP IIS Manager Users Login Fail (530)

I'm trying to set up a FTP site on IIS 7.5 that allows IIS Manager Users to login. I'm following this guide: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/321/configure-ftp-with-iis-7-manager-authentication/.

After set up, I cannot login to the FTP using an IIS Manager User account. The client error I got was 530 User cannot log in. Win32 error: Unspecified error. Error details: An error occured during the authentication process.

I tried both with or without a virtual host. A Windows account login fine.

The only strange thing I noticed was that when setting up Read permission for Network Service, there was an access denied error when setting up permission for "%SystemDrive%\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\schema".

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Turned out I didn't install FTP Extensibility. There were two sub-items under FTP Service in IIS Role Features. I only selected the first one and didn't enable FTP Extensibility, which IIS Manager User and ASP.NET Membership rely on.

I suspect that the Network Service account is lacking permissions on the directory you mentioned, since you got the error setting the permissions for the Network Service.

Check the folder's permission in Windows Explorer's security tab. Set the read permission if it's not set and restart the service.

I don't know if everyone encounters that error, but I tried on two newly installed server and both got the same error. FTP works fine (after enabling FTP Extensibility) though. – Jim May 7 '11 at 10:40
