Hi,

The FTP server in Windows Server is using Windows accounts for
authentication. So i belive that the answer to your question is that it is
not possible with Windows' FTP server.

You should be able to build (by code) your own FTP Server that works
exactly the way you want.

But i'm not sure i have understood what you want to do. What do you mean
by "Also, we don't want our users just go our FTP server"? How are your
users supposed to download anything from your FTP server if you dont want
them to go there?
