I have created an FTP site How can I assign User Accounts? The Features Pan does not contain an IIS Manager Users icon as expected. When I click on Edit Permissions...  I get the (E:) Properties box.  Is this normal? Thank you for your help.

You can add local users to this Windows system or add new domain users if this server is in domain. Then FTP can authenticate those new users.

  Re: How to create FTP User Accounts Reply Contact  Thanks Lex Li. The solution with the Windows authentication is OK but it is not refined enough for the needs of our system. Indeed each user  has access to a different directory.  Each such directory has four subdirectories say \a \b \c \d.  The users have various permissions to these directories depending on the group they belong to. So, how can I get to the User Account feature in IIS Manager? Thanks again, Dinu

  Re: How to create FTP User Accounts Reply Contact Are you referring to using the IIS Manager user accounts for FTP authentication? If so, see the following walkthrough: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/321/configure-ftp-with-iis-70-manager-authentication/ For additional security when hosting sites with multiple users you can combine IIS Manager user accounts with FTP User Isolation, which is described in the following walkthrough: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/305/configuring-ftp-75-user-isolation/ Robert McMurray (MSFT, IIS)
