I know there was a document you could put at the root of
each ftp folder to give like some info about the folder.
The file name was static and started with a ~.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kerwin,

I'm not familiar with any such file in IIS. You could obviously create
your own info files but I've never heard of any way of automating this
using IIS.

I found the info I was looking for. The file name is
~ftpsvc~.ckm. You put this file in the directory and the
ftp service will display it when a user goes into that
directory.

More Info:

Very useful. I've been managing IIS ftp servers for a good few years
and had no idea you could do that.

Kerwin,

Doing a little bit of digging I came up with these rather dated KB
articles :

How to Use Directory Annotation with FTP Server in NT
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=103077

IIS FTP Service Registry Parameters
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=147621
