Re: Move FTP user folders from drive E to drive F

Yes. First, make a backup of your metabase and the folders themselves.

Then, using the file copy tool "xcopy" (a command line utility) with the
"retain permissions" switch enabled, copy the entire tree or series of trees
over to the F drive. (type "xcopy -help" to find all the switches, or look
it up on Google)

So; " xcopy e:\yourfolder\ftppath\*.* f:\yourfolder\ftppath\ -x -x -x" (the
x there are the switches you chose)

When it's done, the files, folders, and permissions on them should be
identical. (You can use xcopy to check this, but it's probably not needed.)

Then, go into IIS and update the user folders to the new path in their
properties. You don't have to remove the users "virtual" folders, and you
don't have to move the FTP root folder from the E: drive.

I would then remove the user's folders on the E: drive and have them log in
and test it.

There may be a simpler way to do this, but that's how I would approach doing
it.

Move FTP user folders from drive E to drive F

Hi,

My name is Dan and I have IIS 6.0 installed on Windows Server 2003.

A have two ftp server, with the home directory on the E: drive.

What do I have to do in order to move the contents of the the folders (to
move the ftp accounts) from drive E: to drive F: ?

The IIS (wwwroot) will still be on the C drive, but I only wish to modify
the home directory for the users, then move their folders from drive E to
Drive F.

Is this possible without creating the user accounts again ? They were
created localy (they are local accounts).

Thank you.

Dan
