Does anyone know the maximum number of people that can connect by ftp and upload files at the same time with the same user account? I'm sure your wondering why I ask this but just need to know if there is a limit to this or a setting that i can increase the users if there is a limit setting?

Thanks!
 
I don;t think there is any set limit, I image the FTP service is controlled by the internet service manager, it would go with the setting you have on IIS
 
As many as you have CALs for. It's just an extremely poor security practice to share accounts - not recommended.

BTW: When you enable anonymous access, everyone is using the the IUSER_LOCALMACHINE account.

 
is there any good IIS book or resource out there you recommand ? I need to learn more about IIS for my job

thanks
