Hi, i just started tinkering around with IIS 5 on Win2kAS and was wondering, how do you set-up multiple FTP sites on this thing? Everytime i create one it keeps saying that i must make sure that no other service is bound to the IP address. I did not specify the IP but rather "All Unassigned Addresses"

The thing is, it has a default FTP site and i don't know how i did it but i was able to create another one with no problems but i can't recreate the process any longer.

Any help gladly appreciated. Thanks.

You have to specific another port beside port 21 if you've selected All Unassigned IP addresses.

I need it to do virtual hosting for FTP services. So it has to remain at port 21 just as the first two FTP accounts are.

Hi, You will need a dedicated IP address in order to create a single ftp server. If you only have one IP address, you can create a virtual FTP server.

The difference of access method:
Dedicated IP FTP : ftp://12.34.12.34 or ftp://ftp.myftpserver.com
Virtual FTP : ftp://12.34.12.34/virtualftp or ftp://ftp.myftpserver.com/virtualftp

Follow or use the wizard to create an FTP server quickly. Do not use All unassigned address. Use a dedicated IP address.

To create a virtual FTP, right click on your ftp server, new, virtual ftp

Hope this help

You ca, by enabling disk quotas. To do this, right-click on the drive that will host the FTP site, and click on Properties. There, you can enable disk quotas.

As far as username and password, this is done through COMPUTER MANAGEMENT, or if you have Active Directory installed, through Active Directory Users and Computers MMC.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
