I want to set up the following is IIS 6 on SBS 2003 and
want to know if it is even possible?

Default Ftp site, port 21, anonymous access
vdir # 1, port 21, one user login access only
vdir # 2, port 21, another seperate user login access only
vdir # 3, etc......and so on...

Only have one ip avail on incoming T1 which is static of course.

I've already read the entire IIS 6 documentation, and nothing specifies
this specific setup.

Yes, it does not say anything about what I was asking though.

I want my vdirs to not all be sub-directories of the parent ftp.

....and I want the parent ftp to remain anonymous access.

Sure, on a few MS articles it says to map your vdirs to a sub-directory
of a parent site.....

Parent ftp c:\inetpub\ftproot
vdir c:\inetpub\ftproot\site1

I want to try to avoid having all my ftp's in one parent folder.

In reference to your last msg, you say that I can have my parent ftp
site still anonymous.....how?, when you need to uncheck "allow anonymous
access" to have a user/pw prompt come up on your virtual directory sites?

Thanks in advance for any help at all

Also, I have also tried to create other ftp sites several times on different
ports by opening up the ports on my Watchguard Firebox X50. No
matter what ports (fwd/return) I use, nothing works for some reason.

Is there any way to tell exactly what the hidden port number is when
setting up another ftp site? i.e. std ftp uses 21 send, 20 receive, but you
only can set 21 and 20 is hidden. How do I find the hidden if you are
creating a non-ms recommended ftp?

Sorry, I don't follow the second bit there. you don't want your virtual
directories to be subdirectories? Can you explain that?

the top level folder can still be anonymous (not necessarily a good idea all
the time though. subfolders can then be locked with NTFS ACLs, as explained
in the articles. I don't get the second sentence though at all.

One port down from the one you specify. 21 and 20. 1021 and 1020.
Etc.

Then don't put them there. :)

Virtual folders can point anywhere. You could have:

Vdir1: c:\inetpub\ftproot\user1
Vdir2: c:\user2
Vdir3: c:\users\user3

Whatever you wish.

you can edit the properties of individual virtual directories, and those
virtual directories can point to any location on disk. Hence your parent can
be anonymous while subfolders aren't, without too much hassle, and you don't
have to have them pointing at a physical subfolder of the physical parent -
though they will of course maintain the parent/child relationship when
viewed over FTP.
