How do I if possible have two different ftp sites on the same server. I have ftp.mycompany.com and ftp2.mycompany.com. IF I type either only the ftp.mycompany.com directories come up. The server has the only one IP addressed to it.

Well, I can think of two scenarios that may work for you. 1. Add another IP to the ftp server and point the dns record ftp2 to that ip. In IIS assign the default ftp site to the ip you currently have and install a second ftp site and assign it tothe new ip. 2. Instead of ftp and ftp2 try adding a second ftp site to your iis server and add it on another port. Of course make sure your firewall admin opens the port, then you would access the ftp sites ftp.mycompany.com and ftp.mycompany.com:2120 where :2120 is the new port you assigned. HTH.

Well the way i have done it in the past is point the dns record for both ftp servers to the same ip address. You then need to create a Virtual Directory in the FTP site, this Virtual Directory needs the same name as the user you are going to connectwith. i.e. ingram@ftp1.mycompany.com you would name the Virtual Directory to ingram. (This virtual directory can point to any directory name) You then need to create a user with the username Ingram and give it a password.

You can then set permissions on the Virtual Directory Folder so as that user only has read or write and read
