Active Directory Integrated FTP Sites aren't writeable ...
...but they can be.
By default, all FTP Sites within IIS are read-only sites. If you want someone to be able to upload files, you just tick the Write box on the Home Directory tab, and you're set.
Not with an AD-Integrated site. AD Integrated sites don't have a home or root directory within the filesystem. Instead, the root for each user is determined with the msIIS-FTPRoot and msIIS-FTPDir attributes within the directory. As a result, astute readers will notice that the Home Directory tab is distinctly absent from the site properties dialog:
Hmph.
So what do you do if you want to let users upload to this site? ADSUTIL.VBS to the rescue!
Get the list of FTP site identifiers:
C:\INetPub\AdminScripts> ADSUTIL enum /p MSFTPSVC
[/msftpsvc/941872650]
[/msftpsvc/Info]
List the properties of our AD-Integrated FTP Root:
C:\INetPub\AdminScripts> ADSUTIL enum MSFTPSVC/941872650/Root
KeyType : (STRING) "IIsFtpVirtualDir"
Path : (STRING) ""
AccessFlags : (INTEGER) 32769
AccessExecute : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessSource : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessRead : (BOOLEAN) True
AccessWrite : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessScript : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessNoRemoteExecute : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessNoRemoteRead : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessNoRemoteWrite : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessNoRemoteScript : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessNoPhysicalDir : (BOOLEAN) True
Win32Error : (BOOLEAN) False
AccessExecute : (INTEGER) 0
Set the AccessWrite flag to True:
C:\INetPub\AdminScripts> ADSUTIL set MSFTPSVC/941872650/Root/AccessWrite True
AccessWrite : (BOOLEAN) True
It really is easy when you know how ...
