FTP Account Help

Basically, I'm administering a remotely hosted server and I want to set up
FTP services. IIS is installed. I have one DNS domain name for the server.
I need to set up multiple FTP accounts or sites, each with its own home
folder, its own permissions, and its own username and password. I want one
of these to be accessible anonymously, and the others not.

I figured out how to create additional FTP sits in IIS, but I'm not sure if
I'm approaching the forced username/password thing correctly; also, I cannot
start the newly created FTP sites.

basically I want a user to be able to use a browser to go to ftp://(domain)
and be prompted for a username and password, which will then direct them to
the appropriate folder; or, use the ftp://username:password@(domain) to sign
in to the appropriate home folder.

thanks in advance,
 
well, you can't start any addistional FTP site because they are all by default are using port 21, you may wanna use Virtual folder under the FTP root and create your addtional sites that way

but if you want to have multiple ftp sites, then yu have to assing a different port to it, but then the user will have to use something lie that ftp://username:password@mydomain.com:2121

hope that helps
