First, the FTP software will authorize any valid domain user that supplies
the correct password, regardless of the "site" in question. This can be a
benefit, but also a hindrance, depending on what you are actually trying to
do.
Now, knowing this, the next question is how do you allow/prevent access.
The answer, as far as I can tell, is simply based on the NT file and
directory security permissions (hopefully you are using NTSF!). What I do
is pull the default "everyone" from the entire drive, and the selectively
assign permissions as needed. For someone to "log into the site", then
need to have permissions to the root directory of the "site", at least read
access, I believe. If they don't, then they can "login", but will get a
"home directory access forbidden", which will prevent them from effectively
logging in.
Hope this helps-
P.J.
