    Hello Fellow Travelers,

        I have a little delima that I shure could use some
    help with. It's this funny message I get when FTPing
    into my WinXP pro box from a Win 2003 Server. The
    message I receive is, "An error occurred opening that
    folder on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission
    to access that folder".

        OK ... the path of connection is: WinXP pro / Remote
    Desktop to Win 2003 Server / IE FTP back to WinXP with
    ports 20 and 21 open on the XP firewall.

        The Observation ... WinXP reports FTP connection from
    the Server. It shows up in: Start / right click My
    Computer / Manage / Computer Manager / Default FTP
    sight / Current Session / FTP User Session. This "FTP
    User Session" shows that the server is connected to the
    XP box.

         But ... From the server side I get the message
    mentioned earlier, "An error occurred opening that folder
    on the FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to
    access that folder."

         Permissions? ... Yes, I have set and reset all
    permissions I can think of. Must be something else? I
    have also tried it with a login and anonymous: still the
    same message.
    Help ... Help ... Help ...

    Thanks,
    John
