Re: FTP User Isolation and Websites

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

More or less along the way.
I assume you are talking about standard user isolation and not AD
integration isolation.

Now, to get this work simple way is to configure web structure to map with
ftp.
a)setup this
How To Set Up Isolated Ftp Site

2) so now you got userA, userB folder
configure related NTFS permissions on those folder. say userA can only
read&write on userA folder but not others, etc

3) Copy your webfiles to the new folder...

4) Map the different website root path to these user diectories.

Hi folks,

Right now we have our agency website sitting on an IIS 6.0 server (on
Windows 2003 server Standard Edition). We also have other websites (all
using same IP as main site) sitting on the same server but using virtual
directories. We have separate individuals maintaining these various
sites. What I'm attempting to do is use FTP user isolation so that each
individual can ftp their website files only to their folder and not be
able to view or access others' folders.

What I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around in IIS is the connection
between the FTP process and the inetpub/wwwroot. Here's how I'm figuring
I need to do this.

I place the website files in their separate directories under wwwroot.
Example: website A and website B would be in separate directories in
inetpub\wwwroot

In IIS manager I create a separate FTP site using FTP user isolation for
each website. For the home directory, I point it to the appropriate
directory in wwwroot.

Example: I create FTP Site A in IIS manager and point its' home directory
to wwwroot/website A.

My question is, how do I then set it up so that User A can access only the
directory for website A and not website B? Am I on the right track?

Many thanks for your help,

Zach
