Re: FTP server on WinXPP Client PC ... Fixed?

After an hour or so of 'prospecting' for a workaround ... I found that I was
able to logon to the FTP server PC with the SBS2003 Administrator UserID.
When logged on as the SBS2003 Administrator I was able to use the 'Advanced
tab' from the User Management Panel selected from the Control Panel ... to
add local users.
I added a Local UserID with the same name & password as the Domain UserID
that was not able to logon ... and viola, the user was once again able to
use the FTP server.
I'm still puzzled about how & why this happened ... but, it works again so I
can postpone the long drive to the customer location now.
