If youa re using IIS 6 you can use Isolation Mode but the Directory
structure has to follow a certain naming convention. You can also create a
Virtual Directory under FTP name it the ID of the user and map it to the Web
Home directory. Enable Read and Write and give the local user or Domain user
the proper NTFS permissions. Anonumous can't log in either. I'm presently
doing this successfully at my company.
