Use the command line FTP client and look at the response codes. Your
FTP user needs access to the network location. Also, you'd be better
simply installing FTP on the server with the files.

Is it possible to create a ftp site on a network drive. I have a XP PRO box
that is setup and we need to create multiple FTP sites and point them or
their home directories to a network drive. Is this possible. I tried to do it
but it will not let me finish it when browsing to the network drive. Is there
a workaround or just not possible.

XP Pro only supports 1 ftp site.

If it is anonymous ftp then you are limited to one directory

If you force users to log on then if there is a folder in the root of the
FTP home directory with the same name as their logon then they are moved to
that folder

eg:

HomeDirectory = c:\inetpub\ftproot
User=CCrowe
create a new folder called "ccrowe" in "c:\inetpub\ftproot"

When user logs on as domain\ccrowe they will see files from
"c:\inetpub\ftproot\ccrowe"

Note: In windows xp the user can simply go back up the tree to
"c:\inetpub\ftproot" and see all of the folders/files in there.

You can create the home directory for your ftp site on a network drive just
make sure you set the home directory to be "a share located on another
computer" and specify a username/password that can be used to access that
home folder.
