  IIS7 FTP setup Reply Contact I want to setup a web server where about 100 people will have websites  setup as www.compnay.com/<username>. People also need to have ftp access to their particular folder only to upload web documents. Here is how I set it up but wanted to know if there are any issues with this or if there is a better way to do this. Setup a website called www.company.com mapped to c:\wwwroot. Instead of setting up a seperate ftp site i added ftp publishing to this site from the Actions pane on the website. Authentication - Basic and Authorization added Domain Users - Read Write and FTP isolation - user name directory (disable global VDs). If someone has their username folder then they are able to ftp and if they dont then they get an error message which is fine. Everything seems to be ok to me but since this is the first time I am setting it up wanted to see if anyone else can see any problems with this?  Also in IIS Manager under Sites the www.compnay.com web site has a question mark icon on the globe and I dont know why? Thanks.

All these users already have domain accounts that they use for all the systems and giving them a seperate username and password for this was not an option. Thanks for your reply.

  Re: IIS7 FTP setup Reply Contact  I ran into another problem and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction I had setup quotas on this server but the quota report does not show me per user usage and rather everything is under the administrator account. I am guessing I will have to setup VDs for each user to get the quotas right. Does anyone have any sample scripts to setup create/delete VD's for a user from the command line for ftp7?
