Error message when you try to log on to an FTP site that is running IIS 6.0: "Error: 530 User <UserName> cannot log in, home directory inaccessible"
You try to log on to an FTP site that is hosted on a server that is running Microsoft Windows Server 2003, the Active Directory directory service, and Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. The FTP site is configured to use "Isolate users using Active Directory" mode. However, you cannot log on to the FTP site. Instead, you receive the following error message:
Error: 530 User UserName cannot log in, home directory inaccessible
This problem occurs only when a particular domain controller is offline or unavailable. At other times, you can successfully log on to the FTP site.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service that is included in IIS 6.0 maintains a cache of the first domain controller with which it communicates. When that domain controller is offline or is unavailable, IIS 6.0 does not renegotiate a connection to another domain controller.
To work around this problem, use the
Iisreset.exe command to flush the cache and to reset the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service and other IIS 6.0 services. To do this, click
Start, click
Run, type
iisreset, and then click
OK.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
