Author Website Access for Internet User to Manage Their Content

I need to find a good reference for setting up access for content owners
whose content I want to
place on a Windows 2003 server / IIS 6.0 which would be in a standalone
configuration on my perimeter
network. I want to set up multiple sites using a different IP per site. Each
site would have a different content owner who would need to manage their
content from the Internet. Is their a user table for a standalone server?
Where do I input there usernames and passwords?

Iunderstand how to add and manage user accounts in AD for a Windows 2003 SBS
(Standard Edition)
domain, but this server will not be part of that domain.

Any help you can provide to get me going would be helpful. I just purchased
"Administrator's Pocket Consultant Microsoft IIS 6.0" by William R. Stanek.
I plan to start reading it today.

a) Yes, if the machine is a standalone machine, it has it's own user
accounts database. You can define local users, and place them into local
groups. Instead of the account name being Domain\Username it is
MachineName\UserName

b) You need to decide what publishing mechanism you want to use. You can use
FTP, WebDAV or FPSE. Users would connect using an appropriate client (FTP
program, WebDAV client or Frontpage), and enter their username/password
that's defined on the webserver.

c) You can use the Computer Management MMC console on the webserver to
define users and groups (Right-click on "My Computer" and choose "Manage",
or load the Computer Management MMC from the Administrative Tools program
folder off the Start Menu)
