Using IIS FTP

I''ve been setting up several FTP accounts lately using regular ol' IIS on a machine that only had one IP address available.

Unlike HTTP, where it is possible to host multiple sites using one IP using host headers, You can only host one FTP site per IP in IIS.

I remember the first time I did this was a huge pain to figure out, so here you go.

1 - Create a Windows user. Yeah, I don't like it either, but I think you have to do it. You can take away most of their privs. I always remove their term serv access, too.

2 - Give that user access to their home FTP directory. Make sure they can add, remove, delete...

3- Create a virtual directory for your FTP site. Point it to this new FTP user's directory. Make sure it is named exactly the same as the user you created above
