iis ftp : Ongoing problems viewing FTP folders

OK first excuse me for reposting this but I really do need some advice and
suggestions. For the life of me I cannot figure this one out and have run
out of ideas on how to resolve this issue.
I set up an ftp site on my SBS 2003 Server. OK before you all go jumping on
me for doing this I am well aware of the dangers and pitfalls for doing so.
Let me assure you all I have taken evey security precaution and because we
are a small company I do not have the resourse to build another server and
put it outside of my firewall.
The FTP site works fine. I can log on using authenticated username and
password but do not know why I cannot see any folders. I can access from a
command prompt using ftp.exe. When I do dir listing I do not see the
folders there either. I've double checked to NTFS permissions on the physcal
location. I am using ISA 2004 but do not think that can be my issue as I am
able to log onto the ftp server. I am at ropes end trying to figure this one
out. Anyone out there ever experience this issue and other some suggestions.
Thanks.

Are those directories virtual ? by default virtual directories are hidden
from dir listing..
can you navigate to the folder? I mean 'cd xxxx' ?
