Sorry, missed the first part of the thread. Okay, not supported and
it entails hex editing the FTPSVC2.DLL, but take a look at:

http://www.geocities.com/allegro162002/banner.txt

For Server 2003 the string appears to be the same, though I found it
at offset 8504 [0x00002138].

Post back if this works and I'll do a How To for the IISFAQ web site.

Note that there is no other way to change this other than in the DLL
since it's hard coded.
