Different users accessing different directories in FTP 2

[mikelawrence]

I am struggling to get different FTP logins to access different directories on my windows 2003 server. I only have 1 IP address so what I am doing is creating virtual directories under my default ftp site. Now whenever i create a new ftp site and i try to logon i go to the directory set up in the home tab of the default ftp site. I think this is because i did not set up user isolation when i should have. I've read that i can change this but it sounds like i have to create new sub directories under my ftp directory whereas i have an existing directory structure that i want to use and just give different users access to different directories. Is it possible to do this?

Any help would be much appreciated!

create a virtual directory under your FTP site with the same name as the username (or vice versa) and point the virtual FTP directories to the users physical directory/folder

I just did this yesterday and it works great.

You will probably need to give those new users "list" permission on the root if their folder is below it. However I set my main FTP account to go to a dead end folder. That keeps people from going up to other stuff and avoids the additional hassle of list permissions.
