Not sure why you need 5 servers - or do you want 5 IP's on 1 server?? You can isolate users to their own directories with most FTP solutions. A linux box would do this well. If you are looking to run this on a Windows server - IPSwitch's WS_FTP Server is fantastic although a little pricey (http://www.ipswitchft.com/products/WsFtpServer/index.aspx?n=1). FileZilla also works well for the price - Free!

Looking at > FileZilla at the moment, but don´t anyway to accomplish this. Does it have to be a Windows box? Can you run 5 different instances of FileZilla Server in 5 different VMs, each of which can only "see" what you want to expose? That would certainly limit your exposure, although I think you'd need 5 Windows OS licenses (unless you ran FileZilla in WINE on Linux VMs -- it's gold-rated there: WineHQ - FileZilla FTP Server http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8230 ). No personal experience with these, but this looks like it will work for 99 euros up front and 39 euros each year: zFTPServer http://www.zftpserver.com/index.php/base/downloadBuy This old freeware standby has users and limits their access to folders, but I don't think it supports multiple IPs: warftp.org http://www.warftp.org/ And of course there's your old friend Wiki List of FTP server software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_FTP_server_software -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 Security Blog: http://geoapps.com/ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
