As that 'F' guy, I should note that the default setting in an IIS 6
installation for maximum number of connections is already higher than that.
The hard-coded default (what happens when that metabase key is missing) is
considerably higher. The setting can be changed from the main "FTP Site"
tab of the properties for the FTP server.

I would be very interested to see what Serverdude's experience of IIS 6 FTP
will be when he installs it and tries it out for a little while. Set the
maximum number of connections low, and see if the behaviour is what you
remember, or more to your liking, then set it high and stress it.

It sounds from the original poster's comments as though the people he's
dealing with in his company will accept nothing less than a demonstration
from the OP. The proof of the pudding is, after all, in the eating.

Alun.
