iis ftp:
I have a ftp site that have a bunch of user directories. What I would like
to do is have it so when users login they are dropped right into their dir.

example
user1 d:\blah\user1
user2 d:\blah\user2
etc...

I have tried putting the path in the profile path and local path with no
luck. Am I missing something here?

Jason

small correction

webuser1 d:\blah\user1
webuser2 d:\blah\user2

Hi,

You will need create FTP site in isolation mode. Follow the steps below.

To create a new FTP site that isolates users:

In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click the FTP Sites
folder, point to New, and click FTP Site.
Provide the required information in the FTP Site Description and IP Address
and Port Settings dialog boxes, and click Next.

In the FTP User Isolation dialog box, click Isolate users, and click Next.
Complete the remaining steps of the wizard.
Right-click the new FTP site you created, and click Properties.
Click the Security Accounts tab. If the Allow anonymous connections check
box is selected, in the User name and Password boxes, type a user name and
password to use to to authenticate anonymous users.
If anonymous access is allowed, create the subdirectories LocalUser and
LocalUser\Public under the FTP site home directory.

If users of the local computer log in with their individual account user
names (rather than as anonymous users), create the
subdirectories LocalUser and LocalUser\username under the FTP site root
directory for each user allowed to connect to this FTP site.

If users of different domains log on with their explicit domain\username
credentials, create a subdirectory for each domain (by using the name of
the domain) under the FTP site root directory. Under each domain directory,
create a directory for each user. For example, to support access by user
Sales\user1, create the Sales and Sales\user1 directories.

Refer IIS6 Help documentation for more details.

HTH.

Jason,

This can be done with IIS. In IIS5 it is quite simple, in IIS6 it is
very simple.

IIS5 method :

How To Set Up an FTP Site So That Users Log Onto Their Folders
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=201771

IIS6 method :

Hosting Multiple FTP Sites with FTP User Isolation
