How to configure a FTP Server on a Windows Server 2008 for different users(folders)

  • 772

I've some questions about to configure a FTP on a windows server 2008 .

I've already everything installed.

I need to have to login which have access to different folder(depending on the user/group).

So, out-of-the-box, I didn't succeed to configure different folder depending on the user.

So I created two sites, one for each login, and I give the corrects rights to each other. But since I've only one IP and one incoming port, I've to set a different virtual host for each server(otherwise it seems that the second FTP site cannot starts).

But now the problem I've is that I need to specify once the server(ex ftp1.myhost.com), and once the virtual host in the user:

ftp1.myhost.com|myUserA

(See here for more info)

I feel this like so dirty, redundant. So is there anyway to avoid:

  1. To set different virtual host
  2. If not, to not have this virtualHost to specify within the user field

Thank you!

    You could use User Isolation to do this. It's in the management console, there's a button labeled "FTP User Isolation". Just do that; I think you're over-thinking it.
