iis ftp : Multiple ftp sites
using host headers and it works fine. I can't figure out how to setup 4 ftp sites for these users to manager their sites. Anyone has any docs for this. Can i do it with 1 external ip? thanks
what i need is 4 ftp sites 1 external IP. Same port. I use IIS 5 on win2k
server. From what i am reading on MS site this cant be done.

From what i am reading on MS site this cant be done. Dan, You're right in saying that you can't have 4 FTP sites running on one IP address all using port 21 at the same time. However, you don't need separate FTP sites, you can use FTP virtual directories to allow your users to upload their web content, if that is your aim here. Using the method in the article Jeff has pointed you to, I have sucessfully (and securely) hosted upwards of 450 web sites with corresponding FTP directories using a single public IP address on one server. Assuming you have 4 web sites configured using host headers, you just create one FTP site and configure the virtual directories as per the KB article. Then you instruct your users to FTP to www.domain.com (I know its not ftp.domain.com but it does work, providing they aren't using IE) and they log in as normal and are directed to their own content areas. If you want you can create a DNS entry for each FTP 'site' such as ftp.domain.com but this isn't really necessary in this instance as the web and FTP sites are all on the one box. Regards, Paul Lynch

From what i am reading on MS site this cant be done. If you need four "sites" on one IP then Microsoft's FTP server will not meet your needs. From your description though, you don't need four sites, you need FTP access to four web directories for four users, there's a difference. Otherwise, maybe WFTPD will meet your needs: http://www.wftpd.com/ Or maybe try FTP-ServU or WSFTP. Jeff [quoted text, click to view] >"Jeff Cochran" <jeff.nospam@zina.com> wrote in message

I keep getting User jdoe can not login. I am using smartftp.
This is what i did. I added the UPN suffix domaintwo.com. Then i created a user called jdoe@domaintwo.com Then i created a folder called Sites and a subfolder called domaintwo Then I created a website called domaintwo.com and pointed to the folder domaintwo. Then i created a ftp virtual site called www.domaintwo.com and pointed to the folder domaintwo I went to local security policy and added jdoe to the log on locally. Last i added the permissions of the folder domaintwo so that jdoe will have full access. what am i doing wrong. thanks [quoted text, click to view] "Paul Lynch" <paul.lynch@nospam.com> wrote in message news:bvgkg052e35tfhjgdmtnb9qa28marn1512@4ax.com... > On Thu, 29 Jul 2004 16:03:13 -0500, "Dan" > <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > > >what i need is 4 ftp sites 1 external IP.

I have a problem with this too and I have searched eveywhere. I
noticed a recent date on this thread so I will ask here too, hoping someone here knows how I can do this. I have FTP set up with Isolate users, not using AD... works great, but when I create a virtual directory in the FTP it doesnt work right... what I want.. d:/LocalUser/user1 also a folder of.. d:/webroot/user1 user1 Ftps in and isolate users throws them into their home directory, which is really a virtual directory pointing to the folder in the WWWroot... this doesnt work. I have tried nearly everything, and all I get it the user getting to their directory under localuser, but not the VD... so I remain totally baffled... I dont like being totally baffled... any help would be very very much appreciated. If you need any more info, let me knwo and I will send you anything I can [quoted text, click to view] "Dan" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:<O4gT39adEHA.212@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl>...

I really don't get this. Everyone keeps saying 'users are directed t their own content' but it just doesn't happen for me. They get directe to the root folder - thats not their content.

I understand exactly what you want to do and here is how I did wit IIS6. I have the FTP site configured for isolated sessions and each sit owner has a unique user account and corresponding directory: C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\siteOwnerA C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\siteOwnerB C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\siteOwnerC etc. Then within each of the above directories I created a symbolic link t that users' site root. For example: C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\siteOwnerA\www is linked to: C:\Inetpub\sites\siteA Unix-like symbolic links are supported on NTFS since Windows 2000 (NTF 5). Microsoft calls them reparse points. The OS does not come with tool to create them, but you can get one from the Windows Resouce Kit The utility you want is called linkd. You can find it on the ne individually if you don't want to get the whole resource kit. There are other 3rd party tools that can create reparse points such a MKS Toolkit. Let me know if this helps or you need further info. [quoted text, click to view] sjtarr wrote: > *I really don't get this.

Interesting, how about creating a virtual directory at the ftproot with the
name siteOwnerA and mapped to the webpath? -- Regards, Bernard Cheah http://www.tryiis.com/ http://support.microsoft.com/ http://www.msmvps.com/bernard/ [quoted text, click to view] "mjgroff" <mjgroff.1dtxl4@mail.webservertalk.com> wrote in message news:mjgroff.1dtxl4@mail.webservertalk.com... > > I understand exactly what you want to do and here is how I did with > IIS6. > > I have the FTP site configured for isolated sessions and each site > owner has a unique user account and corresponding directory: > > C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\siteOwnerA > C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\siteOwnerB > C:\Inetpub\ftproot\LocalUser\siteOwnerC > etc. > > Then within each of the above directories I created a symbolic link to > that users' site root.
