    I have created a junction in Windows to give isolated folder access to several users. However, I receive the following error when trying to list the files whilst connected via MS IIS 6.0 FTP server:

    ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
550 .: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

    The strange thing is I can happily use cd to navigate through the sub-folders. Although, I do receive an Access Denied error message when creating directories.

    On a side note. I can navigate the directory's fine over CIFS/SMB and on the local filesystem. Additionally, I have configured a similar setup on IIS 7 with no problems. I have seen a few MS KBs surrounding this error with Junctions on IIS 7 I don't know if there is an issue with IIS 6?
