Ok Tom- Thank you for all of your help! I don't thing I got my problem out
correctly because the documentation links aren't anything I am having issues
with. So, if it is ok I am try again.

1- Webserver for ISP-300 website on it.
One site that I am playing with is http://www.personalweb.com -for people
without a domain name or an IP address. Who want 2 meg personal webspace.
So they can upload webpages and view the website by going to
http://www.personalweb.com/user1 or user2

2- I have two users who are going to have webspace at
http://www.personalweb.com/user1
and
http://www.personalweb.com/user2

3- The user1 and user2 folder will be under the folder
D:/Domains/personalweb/user1 or user2-
Personalweb has admin all- everyone read- and system read access
user1 and user2 folders have - admin all- system all- and user1 or user2 all

4- Computer Management- user1 and user2 are apart of the USER group- and
local path pointed to D:/Domains/personalweb/user1 or user2

5- I have setup a website for www.personalweb.com with the IP address and 2
virtual webs pointing to folder D:/domains/personalweb/user1 and user2

6-FTP sit for www.personalweb.com with IP address pointing to correct path
with Allow anonymous connections is not connected. I setup 2 virtual webs
under the ftp pointing to D:/domains/personalweb/user1 or user2

7- when I ftp to ftp://www.personalweb.com/user1 I get an error
An error occured opeing the folder on the FTP server. Make sure you have
permissons to access this folder.
550 /user1/user1: The System cannot find the file specified.

However I can Ftp://www.personalweb.com just fine and the user1 only sees
the user1 folder not user2.

I hope I was more clear on the problems and I am sorry for wasting your time
before.

I'm guessing this is by design.
As when you login as user1, IIS Ftp will auto forward you to /user1 folder.

Refer
How to set up an FTP site so that users log on to their folders
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=201771

as you can see the error msgs you posted that is actually accessing
/user1/user1, hence path not found.
