Bonus Undocumented Feature!!
|
|
|
| I discovered that if you give a virtual directory the
same name as a user, the server will automatically cd to
that directory when the user logs in. I am using IIS5
server on Windows 2000.
I cant find this documented anywhere so I have a couple
questions...
- Will this continue to be the case in the future
- What other bonus features are hidden in there? Does
anybody have a power user guide for the FTP service?
Thanks!

| Um, I'd hardly call this undocumented - it's well known behavior. I don't
have an IIS5 box handy so I can't point you directly to any documentation.
There are some good articles on IIS FTP server here:
