To configure an FTP site in IIS, follow these steps in the topic given here: How to Configure Secure FTP with IIS.

If you want to assign a user to the FTP site, please follow these steps:

1. You will first have to right click the FTP site you created and select Properties.
2. Select the Security Accounts Tab.
3. Be sure Allow Anonymous Connections IS UNCHECKED. We do not allow Anonymous FTP access. This is a potential security risk for the server.
4. Add the user to the FTP site.

• If you are using IIS 5.0, under FTP Site Operators, click Add. Select the FTP user from the Menu and click OK
• If you are using IIS 6.0, right-click the FTP site and select Permissions. Select the FTP user and click OK.

Try this:

- Create a new ftp site, choose "user isolation mode" (not the AD option)
- make a virtual directory in the ftp site, with the name of the user, wich points to the directory where you want the user to go to.
- Make sure to have an real directory with the same name as the user in wwwroot.
- Make sure the home directory of the ftp site points to the wwwroot.

Now try again.
