FTP Site not working

[wannabie2]

I have a windows 2003 server and I have setup an FTP site using isolated the users for authentication.
it works. Whenever a user logs in they go to directly to the home directory where they are meant to go.

I need to setup another ftp site on the same ftp server for an administrator to log into, but when I try it, it doesn't work.
when setting up the site I get a warning that all the addresses have already been assigned.
and after its been setup, I cannot log on as an administrator.

The server has two network cards that are both connected to the internet. I've tried assigning ip's to each site but when I do that only one of them will work.

I thought that it might be a connectivity issue but both cards are connected to the internet.

is there something I'm missing because I thought that IIS can host more than one site.

Hey wannabie2,

IIS can host more than one site (web or ftp). However, I think the issue you're running into is as a result of the isolation.

When creating the FTP, the way I've always done this is by not isolating users. After the FTP is setup, you can then add the FTP user you want to restrict to a specific folder to the system & map that user to the specific folder by viewing the folder properties > security tab and add them with the permissions you'd like (probably modify).

For the administrator user, you would use the same process.. Add the user to the system & map to the overall folder for the admin user and have the permissions for that user inherit down the directory structure of the site.
