Wow.. now.. I guess you apply unix world knowledge to IIS.
home directory in windows is different with those in *nix world.
let's don't go that part.
Now, say you have two user - A & B
you create a normal ftp site (standard user isolation)
ftproot -> D:\ftpfiles\
for users folders you create
userA -> D:\ftpfiles\localuser\userA
userb -> D:\ftpfiles\localuser\userB
test the ftp. go to command prompt, enter
'ftp x.x.x.x(iP)'
if userA can login, it will be redirect to this folder
D:\ftpfiles\localuser\userA
now, for website.. you can configure website home
directory to point to this parth for user A
yourwebsite / virtual directory -> D:\ftpfiles\localuser\userA
so when user upload files to this folder,it will reflect to the
web site.. now ensure 'content' user upload is valid.
make sure they damage your server.
you have 3 tasks. so do it one by one.
1) configure ftp
2) configure website to point to the correct path
3) configure dreamweaver or etc
and skip the home directory concept.
