How to set folder permissions for FTP Virtual Directory (Windows Server 2003)
I have my ftp folders set up as follows:
Default FTP Site is mapped to c:\inetpub\ftproot.
Users group has read/write/list access to c:\inetpub\ftproot.
UserX has no explicit (Allow or Deny) rights to c:\inetpub\ftproot.
FTP Virtual Directory "Content" is mapped to d:\sites\SomeWebSite\conte
Users group has inherited rights to d:\sites\SomeWebSite\conte
UserX has inherited rights to d:\sites\SomeWebSite\conte
For the above configuation, UserX has ftp access to both the default ftp site and the "Content" ftp directory. I want to remove UserX's access to the default ftp site but keep their access to the "Content" ftp directory.
If I deny the Users group access to c:\inetpub\ftproot, then UserX no longer has access to the "Content" ftp directory, even though the directory permissions appear to show UserX as having access: all of the Allow checkboxes are checked but grayed out.
What do I need to do to give UserX ftp access to "Content" without giving them access to ftproot?
Thanks in advance.

Can you provide a link about creating a second FTP site? When I researched this before, it looked like I'd need to define the ip address.

Thanks. Since this involves a hosted server, I may just allow the user access to the ftp root for now.
An alternative might be to make "Content" the default FTP site with a virtual directory pointing to FTPRoot.
