I have created a junction in Windows to give isolated folder access to several users. However, I receive the following error when trying to list the files whilst connected via MS IIS 6.0 FTP server:

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
550 .: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

The strange thing is I can happily use cd to navigate through the sub-folders. Although, I do receive an Access Denied error message when creating directories.

On a side note. I can navigate the directory's fine over CIFS/SMB and on the local filesystem. Additionally, using sysinternals Process Monitor I can see its trying to get at the directory:

"C:\C:\path\to\ftp\LocalUser\mikej\"

which is invalid and most probably the cause of the problem. Any ideas why?

Many thanks in advance.
