iis ftp: Well you probably run your software on a Web Site more than an FTP site to
create the FTP site for each user.

What version of the Server OS are you running?, 2000, or 2003?

2003 supports Active Directory isolated users which means that you can
actually have the ftp site where ever you want for each user.

Say for example you have a network home directory for each user or a place
on the network for each user.

At my work we have a location called p:\user\xxx where xxx is the nt logon
name for the user. This means my account is p:\user\ccrowe (as far as mapped
drives go)

We could configure each users account to maybe have a FTP folder in that
location so p:\user\ccrowe\ftp and configure this in AD.

Now when the user logs onto the FTP server using their domain credentials
they are automatically mapped to that p:\user\ccrowe\ftp folder.

Now you would not want to use mapped drives, use the UNC path.

for more details

I have been working on an addin to allow you to edit the FTP details for
users in Active Directory users and computers but it is pretty simple to
just write a script to do this as well.

see http://blog.crowe.co.nz/archive/2005/08/09/181.aspx for my custom
property page for AD (sorry not yet released)

I am not aware of any products that do what you want off the shelf.

Check into some of the IIS control panels, such as Helm.

I'm looking for software that will run on my FTP server that will
allow a user (inside my AD forest) to create his own ftp site and
password. I'd like it to work much like setting up gmail or hotmail
account.

The only software I've been able to find is Bindview password self
help. Any suggestions?

Good info. But I want to the users to be able to dicate the username
and password. Also, I'm looking for a canned software solution. BTW,
I'm running Win2k3 Ent.

Thanks Gents. Helm looks very promising as well as
