Mastering IIS FTP - Managing multiple users with one IP Address (IIS) - Developer Fusion, the UK developer community - VB, ASP, C#, .NET, PHP and XML tutorials & source code: "In choosing which software to use for managing the server-side of FTP, often time people don't use Microsoft's FTP program because they think that it's too simple or they think that it doesn't do what they want. I'm going to attempt to reveal some of the hidden but powerful features that exist with Microsoft's FTP program. Understanding just a couple basic concepts and putting those concepts to good use will open up a new world of possibility.

I'm not trying to convert the many people that are using another FTP program or try to say that Microsoft's is better. I don't work for Microsoft and I'm not being paid to endorse their product. But for those that aren't happy with their current solution, want to utilize Microsoft FTP better or are diving into this fresh, read on.

I'm assuming that you are somewhat familiar with using Microsoft IIS / FTP. The 10 second description for those coming in brand new is: For those running a version of Windows that includes IIS (Internet Information Services), you already have Microsoft FTP available to you. This is included in Windows NT/2000/2003/XP. Except for Windows NT, use the IIS snap-in found in Start -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services. If you don't have that installed, it can be installed from Add/Remove Programs in the control panel. For some people using Windows XP you won't see Administrative Tools off your Start Menu. You can still find them in your control panel. For those wondering what FTP means, you've probably stumbled across the wrong article."

Not one for those intrested in development alone, but more useful for those who learn to things along with network administrators
