IIS 7 And FTP sites

Question : - I want to create 200+ FTP sites for different organizations within my company.  I don’t want to create an FTP folder and then create the 200+ folders within this default FTP folder.
I want the users to connect to the different FTP sites with a friendly name: ftp://sales, ftp://finance, etc.  Rather than ftp://sales:2009, ftp://finance:3413, etc.
Possible?  If so, how with as little ‘scripting’ as possible.


Answer : - 
You can create multiple FTp sites using multiple virtual host names: -
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/320/using-ftp-virtual-host-names/

# You created a new FTP site named "www.example.com", with the site's content root at "%SystemDrive%\inetpub\www.example.com".
# You bound the FTP site to the local loopback address for your computer on port 21 using "www.example.com" as the virtual host name

Similarly : -
# Create another site with different hostname : "Finance" , different content root
# Create another site with different hostname : "Admin" , different content root
