SYMPTOMS
When a user browses files and directories on an Internet Information Services FTP Server using CuteFTP, an error message similar to the following may occur:

550 Directory: Access Denied

Failed to Change Dir

The error usually occurs when the user is attempting to download a "queued" file.



CAUSE
This error is most often caused by an attempt to connect to the FTP site when the user does not have list permissions on the directory.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, assign list and read permissions on the directories that the user (or the user's group) needs permissions to.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about setting directory and file permissions on FTP content, see the Windows 2000 Resource Kit and the Internet Information Services documentation.
