iis ftp : Setting up FTP for the first time

I have never set up ftp-sites before, and have some basic questions to get
started.
I have a Windows 2003 server / IIS 6, and run all websites on a single IP
using
host headers to direct traffic.

The structure on my server is like this:
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\domain1 (this is www.domain1.com)
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\domain2 (this is www.domain2.com)
and so on....

I want to make FTP-access with unique username and password for each domain.
Example:
ftp.domain1.com (with username=domain1 and password=password1)
ftp.domain2.com (with username=domain2 and password=password2)

Do I need to use "Isolate User" mode to achieve this?
Do I use the servers static IP address or "All unassigned"?
Any other tips for getting me started here?


Thanks alot for your help!!

Best regards,
Øyvind Isaksen

Isolated, either standard or AD.

Static. Always tie FTP to an IP for better security and monitoring.

Follow the directory structure to the letter. Use Virtual Folders to
get to the web content from FTP. And start here:
