8.3 C Mode Cifs shared to Windows Server. FTP Setup throuhg IIS

Hello

I have a unique situation and I can't seem to find any forum posts anywhere that describes a solution to my problem. I currently have a lun shared out to a windows server. On the windows server I have an FTp server setup through IIS. I am using a locally configured account on the server (servername\test) to access an ftp directory for file transfer. It is working as expected. I have been tasked with moving that iscsi attached lun to a cifs shared volume for flexibility reasons, (snapmirror to a dr destination) with the ability to easily mount the volume at DR. I created a clone and transferred the contents of the lun using robocopy. I configured ftp through IIS like I normally do but here's where it gets complicated. I can't configure a local server account on the cifs share because the share is technically on the filer. When I configure a domain account and try to login it fails with a 530 error home directory is inaccessible.

Hi Jeffrey,

Try the following steps:

Check that the user's home directory does not contain uppercase letters. If it does, change these to lowercase letters and try again.

The FTP process in DataONTAP performs the home directory lookup using all-lowercase letter. As FTP is case-sensitive, this login fails if uppercase letters are used in the home directory names.
Confirm that the user is logging in as DOMAIN\username or username@domain

Please follow the instructions mentioned in the following KB if the above steps do not work.
