Multiple Home Directories on a Single FTP Site?

[Jay Bollyn]

I would like to give USER1 a different FTP home directory than USER2. Is this possible?

I am using the Default FTP Site.

Do I need to create a second FTP site?

Thanks for any info.

:-) Jay

Hi Jay,

Create a new FTP Site and then configure Domain user access to the site:

I may have misunderstood your question. After re-reading your question again, you want to create home directory for each user so that every FTP user will see only his home directoy and will be restricted from the other users home directories? Right?

It's called ISOLATING FTP Users:

The directories will be under: Inetpub\wwwroot\ftproot\localusers\username

Since your server is AD, the you'll use the Isolate users using AD method.

Hope this help

Thanks Latif,

I have been looking at both creating a second FTP site and isolating FTP users. I need to be familiar with both features, anyway, for exam prep.

I have the second FTP site working between two machines on my Intranet, but I really need this on a server which is in our DMZ, which is a stand-alone server, not AD. I am not able to connect; I think it is because I need to open port 5000 on our firewall, which is the port I am using for the second FTP site. I am waiting for the firewall guy to call me back, but I am confident it will work.
