Hello
Its not so much the virtual Web sites, they I agree can be run on a single IP server
However When it comes to giving each individual customer FTP access to mange their site or have an FTP site in its own right IIS4 demands that you have unique IP's
Unless of course someone knows a better method that is not an administrative nightmare.
AFAIK there is no alternative. FTP cannot distinguish between a request for one domain or another based on the contents of the protocol. There are two alternatives here... either we rewrite the protocol to send the hostname as part of the address or you give static IP addresses to all of your ftp sites.

Surley you can assign a root directory based on an account/password sequence (like you can with most UNIX versions of FTP), I have accounts on machines which only allow me access to certains parts or file system. Is this another rewrite of the protocol by that large software vendor.
