Setting permissions keeps the limited user from logging in because the FTP
root shares the entire c:\ drive. I set up a virtual directory for the use
that I want to have limited access and set a path to be a subdirectory on the
c: drive such as c:\limited_user, but since NTFS permission prohibit the
limited user from access to c:\ then the user gets rejected when FTP'ing in
to the box.
