I need to have my website connect to a FTP site on the same box

[Jon Harris]

I am not sure this is the correct place to post this question but here goes.
I have a box that is using Windows 2003 with out Frontpage extension. I have
a web site that calls an FTP site on the same box. Now I have done this with
DNS but I do not have the IP's necessary to have it work through DNS. How
can I get this done. Would a host header work? What is the form of a host
header?

Thank you.

You can learn about host headers at the IIS FAQ [1] but what you said makes
no sense. How does your website call FTP? Cellphone? Cowbell at dinner time?
If the website calls the FTP site what's the problem supposed to be?

Can you access the FTP resources using a network share? Did you even know
there is a file:// and ftp:// protocol handlers that can be used as URLs?
Does this make any sense?

Yes it does. The web site has a link to a ftp:\\site on the same box. I can
do this as long as I control the DNS. How do I gain access through the FTP
link if I do not control the DNS?
