FTP server and XP's IIS

Hi there! I have created a new username for accessing my FTP server which is running under IIS. Everything works fine but I don't want this user to be shown in Welcome screen. . . Under Local Security Plicy I tried to add this username to Deny Logon Locally line, but then I am not able to logon to my FTP from anywhere.

Hmm, I would have thought that would work...

Here's another way: Download TweakUI from here. In the logon section you can select and deselect users to show on the welcome screen.

The FTP function will behave like that as you have to assign the "logon locally" right to any user or group that needs to access IIS via FTP *or* WWW (hence the reason MS urges that the servers by physically secured). This security is by design.

Thanks, CUViper - it works... nice hint...
Clutch - yeah I believe it's because of security reasons... but actually I am not logging in locally when I try to logon to my FTP server from some other computer in or our of my LAN...
Thanks,

No, I know what you mean, it's just as I wrote however; the security policy considers logging on through FTP as logging on locally, just the same as using WWW. Accessing a machine via network would be like connecting to a printer, using shares, etc.
