Same IP, multiple websites with multiple FTP sites

i know the multiple websites is possible with one IP address thanks to HTTP headers .. but, what about having an associated FTP to each site .. possible in a W2K OS?

Don't want to waste my time trying to get it to work if its not possible ..

Uhm do you mean separate ftp content or just a load balancer ? Load balancing is easy enough.

I didn't know you used HTTP headers to host multiple websites on one IP. Could you go through that for me ?

Btw sweet signature we feel loved !

Host header names are an easy to assign multiple web sites to the same IP and port number. Once you have the default website set up with an ip and port number you set up the other sites you want to host.

On these site you specify the host header name, eg dudbolt.com. If you have another web site eg dudbolt.co.uk, you set up another site and change the host header to match. This doesnt work on some browsers as they dont pass the host header to IIS. IIS needs to see what site the browser is requesting so that i can give the the correct site back again.

Thanks dudbolt, I learned something

This is apparently is a problem with SSL, not IIS and is designed to work that way.

It has to do with figuring out which certificate to use.

Aah of course that would break SSL..
