iis ftp : IIS6 SBS 2003 and Multiple FTP sites

Good Afternoon.

I have a situation that's giving me fits. First off, I'm the only IT
guy here in a 7 employee administration company. However we are
accellerating with using our server at it's best, and a new situation
has come up.

Currently we have 4 websites that are on our server. My boss is
wanting FTP access for ourselves and another side of our business that
treated as a seperate domain in SBS2003. (More on that later.) I have
sucessfully turned on FTP, got the default FTP site to work, set aside
independent IP address for the two FTP sites, and even got the virtual
directory to work within the Default FTP settings.

However... If I try to access one of the two IP address set aside for
the production FTP downloads, the ID cannot access the site. It keeps
getting rejected. This includes the ID that is set for FTP access as
well as my ID with administration rights. I have checked the
permissions and they are similar to the default FTP directory that I
setup which works.

I've seen references to use port 20 (don't want to do that) or use a
static IP address, which I have setup to do. However the IDs are not
getting accepted. Has anyone setup multiple FTP sites in IIS6 SBS2003
with static IP? I'd like to know how you got it to work.

I am somewhat new to SBS2003 and IIS6, so please speak slowly. :-)

Thank you for your time

Tom

ftp error...

"530 User *** cannot log in, home directory inaccessible."

It's almost the same.

I as reviewing the KB page you referred too. Just trying to find time
in the day.

Thanks!

Tom

Ok, then it could be permission related - try
Err Msg: 530 User <Username> Cannot Log In, Home Directory Inaccessible.
Login Failed.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=221934

if no luck, get filemon to trace it.
