I'm using a portable version of Xlight FTP Server Personal for Windows. I have created a "Virtual server" running on port 21 with no SSL enabled. I have added Firewall rules. I have created a user with a very simple username and password. I have also tried anonymous login. I have set the user path to c:\ and given RWCLA--S permissions. I have tried turning PASV mode off on the client.
When I attempt to login from another machine (I have used WinSCP and FTP command) I just get a "530 permission denied" error.
What else am I missing?
Here is the log from the server:

Best Answer
The Windows security permission on the folder is ok ?
I ask as if ftpusr is a username local the ftp service, not AD, often the ftp software will use a guest's account to access the folder path.
If it's an AD user, make sure the account have access to the folder.
