    I'm running windows 2003 server, and tried to set up FTP, but it's always giving me this error message:
    User John failed to log on, could not access the home directory /.

    I created a system user "john", put him in the administrator's group, then assigned him full permissions to the folder F:\John\. Nothing seems to work. I even added "everyone", "system", and "authenticated users" to the folder permissions. Still nothing.

    Why is this so hard to get set up, and exactly what do I need to do to get it running?
