Create the new account, give them NTFS access to the ftproot folder and any
other area you want them to have access to, and make sure Allow ONLY
anonymous isn't checked. Also if you create a folder named the same as
thier user account then they will be auto-redirected to that folder, called
home directory, when they first logon to the FTP server. Here's a link on
hiding FTP directories using the concept of home directories;

This will prompt the user for user/pass and these credentials are passed in
clear text across the wire. This is not recommended and can be dangerous.
Using WebDAV with SSL is recommended from secure file transfer. See KB
