Ok, I tried googlin' but I've run out of luck and ideas....
I'm trying to set up an ftp site on a 2000server box not DC.
I did the following:

-I created the studionotte user which is a user group member.
-I created this directory c:\inetpub\studionotte (on, I know, it
shouldent be on c
-I gave to studionotte user the FullControl rights over
c:\inetpub\studionotte, to Administrator too.
-I created a virtual ftp site wich point to the directory above.

Now, I tryied to connet to the ftp site using IE and I got and "cannot
find/access the home directory" error, so I gave to studionotte user
the read right over the c:\inetpub\ftproot directory.
At this point, when I try to access the site with Mozilla1.7 or
IE6.xx, I get this:
550 /studionotte/studionotte: The system cannot find the file
specified.

I would have tried to do a command line ftp session, but I dont know
how to specify a virtual site over the real address of the ftp.....
The thing that really leave me with no clues is that I can't even
login, I just get this erro even tough I've not even accessed the ftp
site.

Any suggestion?

No, I'm just trying to let studionotte user access
c:\inetpub\studionotte, but it could be any other user on the same
directory.
In KB you suggested me I found this "NOTE: These users need to have
the local log on permission. By default, new users belong to the
built-in Users group, which has local log on permission. " that let me
assume the user should use the NT Authentication which is, in fact,
what I just wouldn't. I would studionotte user to be able to login
using something like
ftp://studionotte:password@ftpAddress/studionotte, just to be sure he
will be able to login even from *nix system. The fact that the virtual
site name is the same of the user name doesn't mean it is his home
directory.
What's next???

home directory is just a term. And if you want a user to redirect to a
folder, the kb still apply. I doubt it was redirect to the correct folder,
hence you got the error msgs.

Get filemon from sysinternals.com, run it on the server, try login again.
see what directory IIS ftp is sending the user to. also make sure the user
have access permission on the path.
