FTP question... can I point my FTP site to 2 partitions?

[Mucman]

I have a partition on my computer for my FTP. It is about 800M but I am finding that I need more space than that right now. Can I keep my exisiting FTP loaction and add another folder from another partition and then put a quota on it so it doesn't fill up?

Do you need more details? I am using the FTP service with win2k server.

ok, I think I know how I am going to do it! I am behind a router using NAT so I have a local IP and I am using portwarding to map to my computers IP. How can I make another IP for my computer so I can run the 2nd FTP from it? I have the 2nd FTP made but I need to assign it an IP so it doesn't conflict with my other FTP.

I don't know how configurable the Win2K FTP daemon is, but I know that 3rd party stuff like Serv-U will let you do what you're talking about. The HTTP equivalent under Apache is called an ALIAS directory, not sure what it's called for FTP. By the way, NAT and port-forwarding are not the solution.

<edit> Ah yes, I believe it's called a "virtual directory". Vermillion FTP and Serv-U both support this.

<another edit>You know, I did some quick research and IIS should support virtual directories. Have you RTFM?

<final edit>OK, here's a clue

What's wrong with using NAT and port forwarding?

lets say my computer has the IP's 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11, I setup up 2 FTP's for each IP. then with the router I have

24.77.232.xxx :21 go my public FTP
24.77.232.xxx :123 go to my private use one

I can setup virtual directories with the win2k FTP daemon, but how do I access them?

<edit>nevermind! I RTFM 🙂, it works now!</edit>
