I just wanted to let everyone know what I’ve been up to. I know I haven’t been posting to Two Guys Tech at all this week, and it’s mostly because I’ve been working on a series of posts over at my personal blog.

You see, this is the second annual “Command of the Grill Week”. One of the things I enjoy doing while I’m AFK is grilling.

A Tip - Isolated FTP Server
The base share should be named the same as the domain that the user accounts belong to. If the accounts only exist on the local machine, then the folder name should be "localhost". Under those, place the user named folders.

Otherwise you'll get:
"530 User %username% cannot log in, home directory inaccessible."
"Login Failed"
