Hi.
I'm trying to set up multiple FTP "sites" on a IIS 4.0 server. This is what
I want

User: Tiger should be directed to the directory Tiger_Ftp when logging onto
the FTP server
User: Lion should be directed to the directory Lion_Ftp when logging onto
the FTP server.

How is this administrated in the IIS console? I try to ad a FTP site for
each directory but I get a conflict because I use the same IP and the same
Port (21) on both sites. Could I enter any port number I want to seperate
the two sites? Or should I register the two sites as "virtual directories"
as a sub to the "Default FTP site".

As you understand I'm pretty, pretty novice about the whole FTP sutff, but I
can do wonders if any of you just give me a hint.

Please give me a hint!

Kind Regards
Mr. Smith

Here's what I've done and it works for me.

1) Create the username you want to use.
2) Create an actual directory somewhere on your server (usually under
ftproot) for the user.
3) Create a virtual directory pointing to the actual directory for the user.
The important part of this step is that the virtual directory name MUST
MATCH EXACTLY the username. IIS routes based on a match between these
names.
4) Set the NTFS security on the actual directory for this username to RW if
you want to allow both read and write access via FTP.

To create multiple ftp site, the site binding of ip/port must be unique....
another suggestion is to have 1 ftp sites and my user directories. Refer
