FTP servers question

[DirtyLittlePuppy]

I'm still stuck trying to get my poor brain wrapped around FTP server problems.

Is there anyone out there running EE on there own win2k server? I have tried IIS with its own FTP, and Apache with various FTP servers, none of them seem to accept this CHMOD 777 stuff using SmartFTP. Is that something Windows doesn't understand or do I just not have the right FTP server software?

Is the home directory for the web server and the FTP server supposed to be set the same?

I am using Apache on WinXP. I gave up using the ftp server in IIS, so I started using Remotelyanywhere (It's a remote control program, but it has the option to open a ftp server).

EE on this combo works flawlesly, as should in any other ftp server (iis apart). Just forget about chmod, that's a unix command that is not needed in windows. chmod sets the access permissions to the server. Just use de security functions in your server to set full control to yourself, read/write fot ee and only read for all other.
