Configuring an NT User Database
You may use WS_FTP Server Manager to authenticate users on an NT domain, even if the computer WS_FTP Server is installed on is not the domain controller.
If the user database is located on the domain, identify the following fields on the NT User Database Configuration dialog after selecting the Windows NT option on the Hostname dialog. If the database is local, leave these fields blank.
NT Domain Name. Enter the name of the NT domain.
Machine name of Domain controller. Enter the name of the computer that controls the domain.
If you want to use the permissions you have set up in the NT User database, you must select the Use NT user file and directory permissions option.
Once you complete the NT User Database Configuration dialog, click OK to continue creating the host, making sure you set the top level directory to the directory you want your users to have access to. For example: C:\wsftp
Once the host is completely established, you must do the following to use the NT user permissions:
- Set permissions for all of the folders you just added to Everyone - All Permissions.
- In Windows Explorer, set your desired permissions for each of these directories.
Note: When using Active Directory on Windows 2000, Active directory must be installed with backward compatibility.
