Wayne,

To effectively host multiple sites on the same server you need to have
multiple IP addresses. You *can* host multiple sites on one IP address
but you have to specify non-standard ports for the additional sites.
This means that your clients will have to know what port to use for
the specific site they wish to access and how to specify that port in
their FTP client - this could cause you a lot of support headaches.

Alternatively, you can use virtual directories to isolate your users'
FTP content into their own folders. This method differs depending on
which version of IIS you are using.

For IIS6, use the new User Isolation mode feature :

For IIS5, use FTP virtual folders and NTFS permissions to achieve the
same effect :

You can with each site bind to unique ip/port.
say. siteA 10.10.10.10 21
siteB 10.10.10.11 21 or 10.10.10.11 2200

Or you can create one site, create different folders for users,
and control access using NTFS permissions.
