How to configure IIS 6 on server 2003 for iWeb FTP access and web access

Hello Everyone. Hope all is well.

Just before we broke up for the Easter break, I decided to move the FTP access from the OD Server over to the Windows 2003 Server. Reasons for this are plenty but ultimately come down the Apple's FTP implementation being rather poor.

What I have set up is basically a folder on the Windows Server that stores the sites created in iWeb for each user within a given year. For example, year 6 have a folder which the users' in this group can write to but cannot overwrite other users' sites. Also through the use of virtual sites in IIS 6, you can also browse these sites.

Since i have used this site extensively throughout the last 5-6 years or so, I decided i wanted to give something back that maybe of some use. So I was thinking of creating a How-to guide to show how i did this. If anyone is interested that is :)

As promised here is a guide on how to configure ftp access for iWeb in IIS 6 for multiple users.

This is my first ever guide on how to do something that i have made public. Please be gentle. If you can see how i can improve it then please let me know and I will do my best.
