Hi all,

I want to setup a server which only one IP and network card, the IP is
static. And this server is like a ISP's web host server, mean one server host
multi web site and the most import thing, multi ftp, each ftp with a
different user name and password account, and can after login, just only stay
in own's ftp root folder and can see other ftp's file, but ... have two FTP
user account that can go to all other different folder to management the all
FTP like a administrator.

My server is non Domain, it is a standalone server with the AD

How to setup a FTP in IIS 6.0 like that??

Can anyone give me all the step by step or document resource?? Thx

You can't. FTP doesn't have the ability to do host headers, like the web
server.

Doug is correct about FTP not supporting host headers. You can however had
isolated ftp sites in IIS 6 which means that if users log in with a specific
logon/password they technically have their own ftp site since they can not
see any other ftp sites.

But.....

You can not do this with anonymous ftp sites - you need to log on as a
specific user.

The only other way around this is more IP Addresses on the external.

Chris Crowe,

thx for replay, but I am new on IIS 6.0's FTP isolated management, if I do a
FTP like this with multi user have own / root directory and can't go to other
user's root, how to setup??

Do I need create many user account for the FTP user first, later then do
other setting?? Where I can find a document or reference do this??

thx for your time.

Best regards,
