iis ftp : Can FTP accounts use the same IP and port value?

Just got my Windows 2003 server and created an ftp account under regular
isolation mode--worked fine. Then I created a second ftp account using the
same IP address and port 21 that I used in my first ftp account.

This is resulting in an error message indicating that I cannot start this
because another site is running on the same IP and port value. It tells me
to change the IP address or the TCP port value for this site.

On my old Windows 2000 server, I was running WS_FTP Server which allows me
to create multiple ftp accounts using the same IP address and port 21. The
accounts are managed through the use of the account name (sort of like host
headers are used).

Does IIS 6 allow for multiple ftp accounts using the same IP and port?

Thank you

Now, do you mean multiple ftp sites or multiple ftp user account?
For multiple sites, you need unique IP/port for each site.

I haven't heard for FTP host header support

Multiple accounts, yes. Multiple FTP servers, no. You're creating a
server, not an account. Take a look at:
