Article ID: Q101269
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

If you connect to Windows NT FTP Server using anonymous login, your access rights are those specified by the default user in the configuration of FTP Server. To configure access rights for anonymous users, you can do one of the following:

From Control Panel, Choose FTP Server

You can assign read or write access for a particular partition for all users logging on to FTP Server. However, you cannot restrict individual file or directory access.

From User Manager, Change Permissions for Default User

If you change the permissions for the default user in FTP Server, you can restrict access to all FTP Server users on an individual file or directory level just as you can for any user.
