Hi,
I am trying to park one domain inside another.ie; suppose I hace a domain ABC, I have put another domain XYZ inside it, so that i can access XYZ as http://abc/xyz
So far so good...

But I want to assign a different FTP username to the 2nd one, coz I don't want users of 2nd domain to access first one. I havecreated FTP site with necessary permissions, but could not access it. can anyone tell me the exact DNS setting for this?

Thanks..

If you use http://abc/xyz then abc is the root web directory of the host and xyz is a directory or virtual directory within that web. If you have domain abc.com and create a subdomain xyz.abc.com then you would have http://xyz.abc.com.

What exactly are you trying to do?

hi, You can do it. One IIS site is running as www.first.com, now make a virtual site & it will be accessed as www.first.com/new-site. You can have n number of sites by this way.
For FTP make a user "ftpuser1" on the server & point its home dir to C:\FTP\Users\ftpuser1 folder. Make another one "ftpuser2" & make its home folder as C:\FTP\USers\ftpuser2 folder.
When ever ftpuser1 & ftpuser2 login they will automatically see their home folders.
Let me know it it worked.
