I had the same problem last weekend.  I finally decided to retreat and 
regroup.  I reinstalled the server (I had the permissions *way* screwed 
up) and decided to do without ftp for now.  Instead, I'm sharing the 
webroot to our webmaster's account so she can work from her PC.

I'm shopping for a 2-4 day NT Server training session that would address 
needs of librarians.  If you come across one please let me know.
