<div>
Let me follow-up on this...what I'm looking for is to isolate users, but have a shared &quot;public&quot; folder each user can see and read/write.<br />
<br />
Is this possible or do I have to have a different &quot;public&quot; user so a user needing a public file would have to log on differently than he would to get his &quot;private&quot; files?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

IIS6 FTP AD Isolated users - virtual directory problem

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
