I need some help on how I go about setting up a ftp server using windows
authentication restricted to an ip address alongside a default FTP server
allowing accessing access from one IP.

I have a default ftp server allowing anonymous access from an ip address
already setup and running.  I need to give someone else FTP access to a
particular folder who is not coming from our internal IP address.

My idea is to keep the anonymous default server up and running and setup a
new FTP server to point to the new folder.  I plan to create a new FTP serve
r
to a different FTP root and use a virtual directory to point to the folder
they need.  I plan on restricting this FTP server to the static IP of the
client.

A couple of questions:
1.	How will I the server know which FTP server to goto.  I cant seem to see
any setting to identify between the two FTP servers (a bit like host headers
in the websites section)  I don’t have different IP address to allocate to
the server.  If they try and access the server from an ip that is not
accepted on the default server will it go to the default one?

2.	Will setting up another FTP server affect the default server and cause
any problems

Anyone any tips?

FTP doesn't do host headers.  You'll need to run it on a separate
port.
