That error just means that it cant open the users home directory  Most likely causes:  - Homedir config incorrect  - Homedir doesn’t exist or typo (remember its case sensitive)  - Permissions on the homedir not sufficient  I would suggest to read the ftp manual and first try ftp with a simpler config – i.e. a local account, then use CIFS to see if home directories are working before combining both.  BTW posting screenshots as graphics make it difficult for people who are watching the forum via Email.  Rainer
I went through the following procedures to configure ftp access on CIFS share, all went well, but it doesn't get authenticate. I think the user needs to granted ftp server access. How do i fix this? ?    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steps for configuring FTP for CIFS users:Install the Celerra Home Directory Management snapin: a) From the Celerra Application & Tools CD, install the "Celerra CIFS Management MMC Snapins" on a Windows platform [CelerraCifsMgmt.exe]. Note: Accept the default paths during the install, but on the "Select Components" screen, uncheck all boxes except for the "Home Directory Management" service.Enable the Home Directory service: a) From the Programs or Administrative Tools section, open the "Celerra Management" program.b) Right-click "Data Mover Management" and connect to the appropriate Data Mover using "Connect to Data Mover."c) Right-click the "HomeDir" section and "Enable" the service. Note: This starts the Home Directory service and creates a blank Home Directory map file /.etc/homedir file. # server_cifs server_2 |grep HomeHome Directory Shares ENABLED, map=/.etc/homedir d) Use the Celerra Management HomeDir interface to add entries to the map file. Example: # cat /.etc/homedirtest.ftp.emc.com:*:/fs3/ftp/cifs:create Note: The first colon-delimited field represents the Windows Domain FQDN, the second field represents all “users” for the specified domain when using the "*" wildcard, the third field defines the FTP Home Directory path, and the last field “create” serves to automatically create the User's FTP directory upon first login to the FTP service.Lock down CIFS Users to their own Home Directory by enabling the FTP Homedir option: # server_ftp server_2 -service -stopserver_2 : done# server_ftp server_2 -modify -homedir enableserver_2 : doneFTPD CONFIGURATION==================State : stoppedControl Port : 21Data Port : 20Default dir : /Home dir : enable----output abbreviated--------# server_ftp server_2 -service -startserver_2 : done Note: Setting -homedir enable makes sure that CIFS Users will not be able to navigate out of their own Home Directory. If sub-directories exist, the User would be able to navigate down the tree, provided they had NT permissions. Without the Homedir enable option set, a CIFS user could navigate up the file system path and even to the rootfs of the Data Mover, provided the User had the requisite NTFS permissions.Test the FTP setup by logging into the Data Mover's FTP service using a fully qualified user name and password: c:>ftp 192.1.10.27Connected to 192.1.10.27.220 server_2 FTP server (EMC-SNAS: 5.6.43.8) ready. User (192.1.10.27:(none)): user[NAME].ftp.emc.com331 Password required for user[NAME].ftp.emc.com.Password: 230 NT User user[NAME].ftp.emc.com logged in.ftp >
