This actually leads to question 2:
Does anyone know how to restrict virtual directories of IIS FTP to only one
user?
When we make a VD with IIS for the FTP ANY user can then navigate to that
folder if they know the folder name. For example.
LocalUser
\Matt
\Tom
VirtualDirectory - \public_html
Although Matt and Tom are isolated from that folder down if we make a VD of
public_html if either of them know the folder name they can both access it.
IS there a way to prevent this without IP RESTRICTION? I tried removing the
USER group from the VD permissioons tab but the stopped the Website itself
from running.
Bottom line:
We need to give ftp access to off site developers to upload website files,
but we are running into problems with win2lk3's built in ftp server for
security and user isolation on the small scale. =(
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You need to use NTFS permissions to restrict this.
Change the NTFS permissions on the folders in question, so that Tom has
Read/Write/Delete/etc to his folder, and Matt has the same permissions to
his folder. Do not allow "Users" or "Everyone" access to both folders.
