Hi friend,

I'm using Windows 2000 Advanced Server and IIS Service enabled (SMTP, FTP
and WWW). Suddenly I found C: driver occupied more space and FTP & Mailroot
folder occuped lot of files...! Some spam E-mails and other files...! Again
and again files loaded even I delete the file in the folder...! Hence, I
want to move the Inetpub folder to different drive on the same server...! Can
you some clarify,

1) What is the secure way to move the folder to another drive?

2) Is it affected our current running website and SMTP and FTP? If i move
the folder?

3) Please guide me to move the folder to different driver without any
problem to access my IIS.

4) Also please give secure way for protect the Inetpub folder..Thx

Thank you very much for your Support..!

Do I guess correctly that you are getting rubbish dumped on your server
through your FTP and SMTP setups not being secured? If so, you should sort
out the security issues rather than just move the problem to a larger
partition. Make sure you have all the available Windows 2000 server service
packs and updates and search around for some guides on how to secure your
server properly, e.g.
