To do ftp, you still won't need multi-homing ftp. Simply reference the
file's A HREF tag to ftp://ftp.domain.com/dirname/filename.
If, after all that hot air, you still want virtual ftp servers, you can
check out War ftp. It's freeware that I have found much more flexible
and reliable than IIS. It's at http://www.jgaa.com/tftpd.htm
good luck :-)
