Can't get into a network drive through Filezilla

Question

On my server, I have a network drive and I want to get access to this drive through Filezilla. The main problem is that every time I'm trying to get there with Filezilla, the client connection is lost with Error 550. I have read a lot about this problem and almost every reply is about making a new windows account but I can't make it. It have to work with other Filezilla clients.

How to make network drive "Visible" in Filezilla client? Please, help!

Solution

Step 1 : Add new user with share folder as normal on Filezilla FTP server

Step 2 : Modify %filezilla_server_install_folder%\FileZilla Server.xml

example : Permission Dir="D:\" to Permission Dir="\192.168.11.99\nc"

Step 3: Create "computer user" on client PC same as "user log on to access file" on \192.168.11.99 with same password

Step 4 : Open Services on Client PC , find Mozilla Server FTP server, Right Mouse >> Properties >> Log On tab Choose Logon As >> This Acount >> Select account user in Step 3, enter password

Step 5: Stop and Start again this Services

Network drive implies Windows File Sharing. Is this about FTP? Or is it about Windows File Sharing? Or are you perhaps trying to access a mapped Network drive on your FTP server via FTP?

@DanielB : "Windows File Sharing" (more technically called SMB, or even CIFS) is just one kind of network drive. e.g., if someone asked me whether a specific drive was fixed or used removable media, and that drive used NFS, I may say it is a network drive. Especially in networks that don't involve Microsoft Windows, the term "network drive" definitely doesn't imply Windows File Sharing.

Wow that's really old school method in 2021
