want password and username so a client and access ftp from their own computer

Hi,

These steps will isolate your user to their own home Diretory will providing only that one user a virtual path to the location you chose.

1. Create a local user for this account. COMPUTER \ Mangers \ Users and Groups \ Create user.

2. Create a ftproot directory.
       eg: D:\INETPUB\FTPROOT\

3. Create the User Isolation folder root
       eg: D:\INETPUB\FTPROOT\LocalUser

4. Create the Use Home Root.
        eg: D:\INETPUB\FTPROOT\LocalUser\UserName.LastName

5. Create a folder for the virtual path.
        eg: D:\INETPUB\FTPROOT\LocalUser\UserName.LastName\FOLDER_YOU_WANT_HIM_TO_ONLY_SEE

6. Create virtual Directory from IIS GUI
      Alias: FOLDER_YOU_WANT_HIM_TO_ONLY_SEE
      Physical Path: <DRIVE>:\folder\path
      Click OK

7. Set FTP User Isolation from IIS GUI.
       (*) - User name physical directory (enable global virtual directories).
    Must be enabled or the virtual directory you created will not be listed.

8.  Set user permissions (READ,WRITE) for SERVER\UserName.LastName on <DRIVE>:\folder\path.

9. Set user permissions (READ,WRITE) for SERVER\UserName.LastName in FTP Authorization Rules from IIS GUI .

8. Login and test.

Results:
    ..
      FOLDER_YOU_WANT_HIM_TO_ONLY_SEE
 
 User Account Types                    Physical Home Directory Syntax
  Anonymous users                        %FtpRoot%\LocalUser\Public
  Local Windows user accounts        %FtpRoot%\LocalUser\%UserName%
  Windows domain accounts            %FtpRoot%\%UserDomain%\%UserName%
  IIS Manager or ASP.NET custom    %FtpRoot%\LocalUser\%UserName%

If this is not what you are thinking about then you can also just make the ftproot the folder in question.

I don't understand how this would work using an FTP client.  Do I just enter my IP and my windows username and windows password

Thanks
