IIS FTP Questions
Q. 1) Folder permissions Anyone out there that knows how to give access to other folders than the ones under the ftp root? I've successfully created virtual directories but those are not listed in the user ftp clients.
Q.1) Folder permissions
Anyone out there that knows how to give access to other folders than the ones under the ftp root? I've successfully created virtual directories but those are not listed in the user ftp clients..
Q.2) Activity Monitor
Is there any good program or plugin/snapin that gives you a little more detailed report of the activity on your ftp service? For instance what files/dirs a certain user is downloading, CPS...
Q.3) IP Restrictions
Weird. When I first was poking around with IIS I was able to set granted/denied access on Directory Security in ftp properties. Now suddenly this option is disabled. :-( The buttons Add, Remove & Edit are also shadowed..
Q.4) Documentation?
Any good sites with IIS configuration tips?
Btw I'm running Win2k Pro with NTFS..
Any help or hints are appreciated..
Thanks in advance!

The answer to Q1 and Q3 is almost certainly "use NTFS not FAT".
W2K's file/dir security is not offered on FAT.
------------------
SuperMicro P6DBS (dual UW-SCSI) BIOS 2.2, 2*Celery 300a @ 450Mhz, 384MB PC100 RAM
SCSI-A=4.3Gb+9Gb, SCSI-B=Tosh32x CD-ROM, Yamaha4416 CD-RW, Iomega ZIP100, IDE1=4.3Gb
IBM EtherJet 10/100 NIC PCI + Nortel ADSL "modem"
Matrox G400 DH 32Mb AGP + Quantum3D Voodoo2 SLI PCI (CL TNT1 AGP on a shelf)
SoundBlaster Live PCI (not Value)
Win2K build 2195 Retail (not 120-day eval)

The ture answer to Q1 YuppieScum is you make a folder then you can use a virtual directories part
Ok try this way
FTP Root folder
c:\inetpub\ftproot\
make a folder call it Joe
c:\inetpub\ftproot\Joe
Make that virtual directories give it a name Joe then point it to then folder you went to use or drive like D:\ that all you need to do now are done.

Step by step instructions:
* Open IIS
* Expand the root node with the name of your computer.
* Right click the ftp server node.
* Select New/Virtual Directory . A wizard will appear.
* Hit Next (of course!).
* In Alias:
type the EXACT name of the folder you've created in "c:inetpubftproot". Just the name, not the full path!
* Next.
* In Path:
Here is where you "point" to a folder, for example C: .
* Next..
* Select Upload, Download or both...
If you want to set user restrictions on a certain folder, it's got to be located on a NTFS partition.
* Done!
