How to programatically create an FTP7 site
Note: Unlike the previous versions of FTP servers released by Microsoft, FTP7 shares it's site configuration with the Web Server (IIS7). Standalone FTP server is now nothing more than a web site with ftp binding. Sharing of the configuration is really nice because it allows FTP publishing to be set up on top of the existing web site. Such site would contain both "http" and "ftp" binding.
Administrator has to be aware of this new logic. It means that site names and site IDs are now shared between the Web Server and FTP server. So if there is site with Id="1" already used by web server, then different site ID would need to be used for the standalone FTP server. Please keep it in mind when using the code snippet. Also, make sure you have FTP 7 installed.
