IIS HELP (BEGINNER)

[mhch2005]

Hi,
I am using IIS on a WIN NT5 (2000). I really could use some help. I have a GREAT http site goin. It is workign GREAT. But when it comes to FTP...Thats another story. I would like it to be where each user could log it, and they get only thier folder. (which i want to be a part of the site)

(ex)

the site is like this
[folder1]
[folder2]
[folder3]
index.htm

when user michael logs in, i want hime to access the whole thing. when bill logs in i want him to only acces folder1 when rob logs in i want him to only access folder2 and folder3 but if patrick logs in, i want him to access nothing. also i don't want ananamous logons.

how is this done.

right now i have the ftp set to the

http://wwwroot

dir. i don't think that is the best solution. i would apprecieate the help.

Thanx,

Michael,

If you right-click the Default FTP site in your MMC for managing IIS, there will be an option for Virtual Folders. Pick this option and when it asks for the name of the Virtual Folder, you enter the UserID of your first user, then point the home folder to the folder in which this UserID gets access to. This becomes that users home (root) folder when they log on. Repeat the process for each user that you wish to have their own folders.

Lets say that John Smith, UserID is JSmith needs FTP access and his root folder to be "d:\inetpub\ftproot\Johns Folder"

Use JSmith as the name of the Virtual Folder, and browse to "d:\inetpub\ftproot\Johns Folder" and make this the root folder for this Virtual FTP Folder.

Hope that helps.

Make a virtual folder on the default FTP site with the name of the user to logon and map it to the appropriate folder, create a local user on the server with the same name and set the password. The default FTP site should be set to point to an empty folder with permissions set so the usergroup that your remote users belong to is Denied Access, this will prevent anyone using the CD .. command to gain access to the root folder (default site).

Make sure NTFS permissions on the folders\drive allow appropriate access to the username\group and off you go.
