Hi Everyone,

I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me solve. I am running Windows XP on one machine, and W2K on another machine. The W2K machine has a shared folder called "temp" with permissions for everyone to have full access (bear with me here, I know this is a bad idea, but I just want to make sure first that all perms are set for everyone).

It is also worth noting that the two machines are on separate domains, BUT I can log into one from the other and vice versa, when I map drives. So, everything is fine there.

Second, the XP machine has a IIS 5.1 FTP server running. I mapped the shared w2k directory successfully to drive Y:. I would like for drive Y:\ to become my home directory for the FTP server.

I try to login via ftp through the command line, I get the following error:

"530 User Anonymous cannot log in, home directory inaccessible."

In the cmd prompt, I can definitely go to Y: and see the directory contents.

So, I tried the other way, connect to remote machine. I entered \\192.168.0.10\temp\, connect as MY_DOMAIN\username, enter the password: I get the same thing when I try to log in.

Notes: Read is enabled on the home directory, and so is write. Anonymous access is allowed. Interestingly, when I click browse and check names, it tells me that it cannot access my_domain, even though I know it can. I don't know if this is the root of my problem, but somehow I doubt it, because it won't even accept the mapped drive (Y) as my home directory.

Thank you all

If ANYONE has ANY idea what is going on, I would REALLY appreciate it.
