Can someone give a real beginners guide (non IIS admin) on how to check through IIS (windows server 2003) - what data is in the FTP "directory", and what permissions are set as to who can access the FTP directory/data? You'll have to explain in laymans terms.

start reading from here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771012(WS.10).aspx and for more help you can contact iis forums http://forums.iis.net/http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin

Check this webcast. IIS and FTP discussion here. Thanks
