Re: Please help a novice..!!

Here's what I've done and it works for me.

1) Create the username you want to use.
2) Create an actual directory somewhere on your server (usually under
ftproot) for the user.
3) Create a virtual directory pointing to the actual directory for the user.
The important part of this step is that the virtual directory name MUST
MATCH EXACTLY the username. IIS routes based on a match between these
names.
4) Set the NTFS security on the actual directory for this username to RW if
you want to allow both read and write access via FTP.
