Re: FTP User Isolation and Websites

Bernard,

Thank you for your detailed response. Yes, we are wanting to use standard
user isolation and not AD.

I think I follow what you are saying. However, I need to clarify one thing.
We have one domain under which these various sites are operating under. For
example, say site.org is the domain we own and the agency website is
www.site.org. We then have other sites listed under that domain such as
www.site.org/ged, www.site.org/techprep, www.site.org/adulted. This was
done by creating the ged, techprep, and adulted directories under
inetpub/wwwroot where the files for site.org reside. Then in IIS manager, I
created virtual directories for each of those three sites and set the home
directories to the ged, techprep, and adulted folders.

Different individuals maintain the sites and need to be able to ftp the
files to their directory. What I want is that they to be able to access
only their directory and not the others' or the root directory where the
agency website resides. That's where I'm running into trouble and was
needing a bit of help. Do you think your steps 2-4 below will do the trick?

Regards,

Zach

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

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
