Does anyone know how to do this? I want mutilple ftp servers all on port 21 but with different subdomains. e.g. ftp://mydomain.com:21 and ftp://mysub1.mydomain.com:21.

I can't find anything that tell me how to get this done.

For http, you can add headers, but how do you get the same effect with ftp on IIS?

That would work if they were on different servers. I want them on the same server... so they have the same IP. DNS only resolves IP addresses. The issue has to do with IIS and it's FTP server.

I must be missing something somewhere, because this seems so trivial. It would be a really lame oversight if IIS couldn't handle such a simple thing.

On second server, I use Red Hat linux and Apache (no asp.net here...) and it works like this:

 - In a control panel, create a new subdomain (always using dns)
 - The subdomain name is a folder, so if the subdomain is test.yoursite.net then the folder on the server is like /test/

I'm sure it must be in dns, since you're using a subdomain on port 21... If not, I dont know!

Gone..

Thanks. I'll try it. Let's hope that that MS didn't drop the ball yet once again...

Ok - it didn't work... The DNS stuff was already all done - so no worries there.

I set up the folder the same as the subdomain, but it didn't work.

Is IIS that lame? or am I missing something.

you said... "That would work if they were on different servers. I want them on the same server... so they have the same IP. DNS only resolves IP addresses. The issue has to do with IIS and it's FTP server."

It is impossible to bind port 21 more than once on a same IP address... unless you use two network card with different ip address and use DNS to resolve your domain and subdomain... You can only make use of this IIS feature if you use Window 2000 server (not professional version)
OR...
if you still want to use the same ip number, you have to have DNS too to help you....

try this configuration....
(Im sure that there is only one FTP server that is bound to port 21 on one network card right?...)
In your Internet Information Services, go to your ftp server properties under you computer/server name... on FTP server tab, in Identification frame set IP address as '[All unassigned]"

I think this is nothing to do with IIS's ftp server only thing that maybe you missed some configurations...

Thanks

 

Thanks
