FTP Question - 3/2/2006 14:36:04   
I am a little unsure how I should set up my FTP folders... for my site. I run the website of a university, with alot of subwebs. I use FrontPage Server Extensions to administer the web.

I want to create a structure like this below:

http://www.test.com/courses/vart1/2006/test

where there is a courses folder.. inside of this is the course name folder.. inside of this is the year.... and inside of this is the users(could be 20 users inside this... year folder)...

The teacher will be administrator from vart1 all thje way to test or test1, etc... the student should only have access to test ... NOTHING else...

I have courses as a subweb with myself and prof as administrator... then vart1 as a subweb with myself and prof as admin... then 2006 as a subwen with myself and prof as admin... then student folder, with myself and prof as admin and student as adv author...

in the FTP section of IIS, i have courses as a FTP, and vart1 as a FTP ...

I have no clue how to set this up correctly... the way it is now, they can access any folder...

you shouldnt use ftp if using fp extensions....use publish.... control your file structure locally and then publish will recreate it on the server . purchase the spooky login (on this site) to control access

I have no choice but to use FTP. I work at a university in which users want FTP. Not all my users use FP ... I have users on MAC, LINUX which update websites. They use FTP.

I also have students which write their own code, and do not use FP... They use FTP to upload the code.

So FTP is a must for me.

You might consider using htaccess or an ASP script depending on the platform - but FTP will corrupt the FPSE extensions and the sub-webs / subsites will fail.
