The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need to setup FTP Sites on a server that uses Host Headers for the websites

Asked by dyarosh in Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: Microsoft, IIS, 6.0

Here is the situation.  I have a server that hosts multiple websites.  Each website uses the same ip address 216.xxx.xxx.135 and host headers to differentiate the websites.  Everything works fine with the websites.

Now I want to setup FTP sites for each of the websites and not allow each site to "see" the other sites.  To do this I created an FTP Folder at the root where my websites are located and named it d:\FTPSites.  Under d:\FTPSites, I created a folder for each user that has FTP access.  For example, I have 4 websites so I have 4 user accounts defined as website1, website2, website3, website4.  The d:\FTPSites folder has subfolders, website1, website2, website3, website4.  I created a new FTP site where users are isolated, allow anonymous access is denied and the home directory is set to d:\FTPsites.  I then created an FTP Virtual Directory for each user that points to the corresponding website.  For example, website1 virtual directory points to d:\website1\wwwroot, website2 virtual director points to d:\website2\wwwroot, etc.

The problem is that when ftp'ing to website1 using ftp://website1.com, username: website1, password: password, the site connects but is pointing to the d:\FTPsites\website1 folder and not the d:\website1\wwwroot folder.

Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
