Thank you for replying Herb,
   I was able to figure out that yes I had it set to anonymous logon only
and the write permission was not on. I am now able to log on and get to the
FTP and post and pull down documents.
  I am still wrestling with trying to set up a specific user that is allowed
read only permissions to the folder. Basically a generic log on that I can
give that to other people who I want to give access to my FTP server.
  Once again, thank you for your reply.

Any and all help is welcome.

Scott
