iis ftp : How to host multiple FTP sites in IIS6

Hopefully someone can help me out here. I am trying to host multiple FTP
sites from our Small Business Server 2003 with IIS 6.0. Microsoft says that
I have to either change the ports or the IP address to do this. But they
also say you can use virtual directories for different sites.

The only problem is they don't tell you how to do this. Is there a way I
can direct each ftp.domain.com to go to a single FTP server setup in IIS but
access a different virtual directory dependent upon the domain name that is
entered?

Also I have a problem when I try to access a working FTP site from another
computer on my network using IE6. After a successful logon, ab error message
appears that says: "200 Type set to A; 227 Entering Passive Mode; 426
Connection Closed. " But I can access the FTP site from the server computer
using IE6 just fine? Anybody know what the deal is?

Now - to host multiple sites you need to bind each site using different IP
or ports.
and generally - we just use 1 IP - 1 FTP sites, but many virtual
directories.

your 2nd issues related to passive port range.
make sure your firewall or etc allow such port range traffic.

My issue isn't users, it's different functions. Our main
ftp site serves user files, it's isolated by user. The
same system serves ftp so development can update the
website, so it needs a different home directory. This is
done by using a different port to connect. Now, the same
server needs to serve its log files so we can do website
analysis. Again, it needs a different home directory.
The docs are, at best, cryptic as to the best practice for
this need.

any ideas?

Separate IP addresses.

I don't get the problem statement.
if you really need separate everything.
then one IP for web and ftp for each customer.
each web and ftp will point to the same path, and each will has its own
logging.
