ftp server help

[jocycliff]

I am trying to set up a ftp server. This is all behind a Linksys router. I am running the server on a win2k machine using warftpd. I am trying to connect to it on a machine running win xp using ws_ftp. The client sees the ftp server and tries to log in. I get this message

220-FTP service
WarFTPd 1.70.b01.04 (Aug 18 1998) Ready
(C)opyright 1996 - 1998 by Jarle (jgaa) Aase - all rights reserved.
220 Please enter your user name.
Host type (1): Automatic detect
USER example
331 User name okay, Need password.
PASS (hidden)
421 Failed to access home and root directory.

The servers log says

Client(192.168....21) is connected to the FTP server.
(example) - Failed to ChDir() to home and root directory.
User logged out.

I am a total newbie at this and would appreciate any help.

You haven't set your root/home directory up yet, go to the warftp homesite and read their tutorial on how to do it, (it's really not that hard but it's not as easy as serv-u).

Root = the farthest up they can navigate. ie: c:\

home is where they start off at when they first connect.

Actually I followed that tutorial right beside the set up. O ditched watftpd and tried serv-u. 10 minutes later up and running. I noticed a few strange things with warftpd. Up and running now though.
