  User Isolation in IIS 7 Reply Contact Hi guys Fairly new to IIS7 and was having a few issues setting up an FTP site. Have a web server using IIS 7 to host a web site and hoping to set up an FTP server on the same machine. Using IIS7, I've got the ftp site stable. Problem I have is we want to use our FTP for customers also. As a result, wanted to set up User Isolation within the FTP Directory. I know to create users I need the IIS 7 Manager Users applet to configure users but this option does not appear on my IIS. Its an option with Server 2008 but the machine is currently installed on a Vista host. Installing this on a server in our domain isn't really an option as ideally, we want this machine to be on an alternative subnet from our main network for security. If needs be, I have the option to upgrade to Win 7 if anyone is aware if the option is definitely there with Windows 7? One thing I noticed with a few sites is there appears to be an option in Windows Server within the "Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off" which caters for this with Win Server. Is there an option I'm missing within Vista or is this not possible without Win Server 2008? Any help, pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated Thanks

Ideally, I'd want to be able to create an account only when I needed it and provide access strictly to a set, approved user. Does the linked method allow me to do that? Thanks
