Virtual directory using network share in different domain

iis ftp:

I would like to setup a virutal directory that points to a network share on a
server in a different domain. The domain that the FTP server is part of does
not have a trust relationship with the domain that the other server is in. I
setup a virtual directory and use the connect as button to setup the account
information in the format of

RemoteDomain\username (with the correct password).

It allows me to create the virutal directory. I also mapped a drive using
the Net Use command with the above syntax for username and it mapps the drive
fine.

However, when I connect to the FTP server and try to switch to that
directory I get the error "Logon Failure: Unknown username or bad password"

Should this work? And if so, any suggestions.

TIA

Try UNC path rather than mapped drive.
e.g. in the virtual directory setup put in \\remoteserver\share\
