FTP upload error 550 access is denied : Secure by Default, Fool by Default

From sxc

When I test my new windows server 2008 ftp on datacenter, I try to enable the ftp service using default settings,

· use ftp client to login with administrator

· when I try to upload, I saw a error code 550 “Access is denied”

· double checked firewall to allow ftp traffic

· still fail

· Go command line : ftp localhost

· Login successful

· Upload by mput abc.txt (on my user folder , can check my command LCD)

· Still 550 .

I googled this, over thousands page of result asking similar question. But almost 99% suggest check folder permission, not the best answer to this problem .

Not until reading a post suggesting adding a new Virtual Directory for FTP

The Key solution is to check Write under FTP site directory on “Home Directory” Tab of IIS Manger.
