Hello:
I think the information you are looking for is documented on this
FAQ:
IIS FAQ: How to Redirect Users to their Own Folder Using FTP
http://www.iisanswers.com/Top10FAQ/t10-FTPuersfolder.htm
Step 1: Create a home folder for your user.
Typically, this will be a subfolder under a parent folder that is
named exactly the same as the username. All users will need the right
to Log on Locally. Of course, Admins should have full control of
everything all the time :)
TIP: Do not set NTFS permissions yet. If you do, be sure the System
account has access to the users' folder or you will get a 'stop sign"
error when you try to create the Virtual Directory.
Step 2: Create a Virtual Directory and map the user's folder.
The trick here is that the Virtual Directory has to be the exact same
name as the user. In this case, we create a folder called BartS and
map it to FTPusers/BartS. Note that the directory name is case
sensitive!
Step 3: Enable Write on the Virtual Directory
Unless this is a read-only FTP site, enable the write permission on
the FTP snap in.
Step 4: Remove Anonymous authentication from the Virtual Directory.
Uncheck the "Allow only anonymous authentication" on the Security
Acccounts tab. Now, when BartS logs on, he will be automatically
placed in his user folder.
Step 5: Assign NTFS permissions.
For the parent folder of your users' folders, you can assign No Access
to the anonymous account. Despite what some KB articles say, the user
does not need permissions to the parent folder. The System account,
however, does need access to this folder so Everyone, No Access is not
a good idea. If the System account can't access the folder, you can
have problems later when you go to make changes to the FTP server
setup for the user.
For the users' folders, NTFS permissions Read and Write are typical.
Execute permissions should be avoided. Remove Everyone from the
access list and add the user's account. According to your policy, you
may or may not include Administrators.
That's it! Now when users log on with FTP, they will be routed to
their own FTP folder.
TIP: You can keep users from seeing folders for other users:
1. Point your FTP server to an empty root. Fine to use
Inetpub/ftproot, just don't put anything in there or your users will
see it.
2. Map your users' Virtual Folders to a location outside of the FTP
server virtual root. By keeping your users' folders in the same parent
folder outside of the virtual FTP root, when they go "up" in the
directory tree from their personal folder, they will be magically
transported to the empty FTProot.
I hope this is the information you are looking for, in any case, feel
free to ask for any clarification, don't forget we are here to help

Hello:
"1. Point your FTP server to an empty root. Fine to use
Inetpub/ftproot, just don't put anything in there or your users will
see it."
This is only an advice, if you want all your users to share the root
directory, just let all of them write the ftproot, there's no
obligation to be empty, the system will work also.
In any case, you can also create a common user for all of them to
allow them share information.
Solve this your problem?
Regards.
