Re: Using FTP with virtual hosts and ASP.NET membership authentication

I'd really like to know what GlobalFtpSite is about. Ideally I want a bunch of different ftp sites (running on different ports) but potentially using different membership databases (as I have inherited more than one and indeed some are on different servers). Is that possible? Can we specify different providers for different ftp sites (presumably using some other locations in the root web.config or otherwise)? Even if they weren't on different databases, they'd still correspond to different applications (which is also set in the GlobalFtpSite/ftpsvc element in the root web.config as per the article in question).

Using FTP with virtual hosts and ASP.NET membership authentication

I have a server in a hosting scenario where I create multiple sites configured with their own membership provider (and their own database), using different domains (same IP).

It works find for ASP.NET but the FTP server always uses the global membership provider (defined in the global web.config) when I connect to the virtual hosts. The guide available here does not make sense to me because it sets up the configuration both under the magic "GlobalFtpSite/ftpsvc" location and under the default web site, and when I google for GlobalFtpSite I get 1 hit.

Is it possible to configure the FTP server to have different membership providers for different sites (virtual hosts), just as normal ASP.NET sites have ?
