allowing website owners to log into their site to upload

iis ftp:

How do you setup users so they can log into their web site for maintenance
? When they log in using an FTP program, they are directed to the generic
FTP site and not their web site location. I did the below recommendation but
the user still goes to the generic FTP.

Using WK3

TIA

You should ask this in the FTP newsgroup.

But, there are specific requirements for users to be automatically deposited
into a particular folder after logging in (e.g. the foldername needs to
match the username), but it depends on what type of user isoaltion you are
using.

when isolated - user will be redirected to the home path.
So you can setup like

f:\home\userA.
Ftp root can be point to f:\home, when userA login - he/she will be
redirected to userA folder.

At this point you should then make website for userA point to userA folder
as well.
take note - disable anonymous access for ftp. but grant the anonymous
account read access to userA folder as this is needed for HTTP or the web,
unless of coz the web access doesn't allow anonymous access.
