Connection Problem

iis ftp:

I am having 3 IP Cameras namely D-Link DCS-6620G which I want to implement in
an existing LAN (Windows 2003 Server) and it will be accessed by VPN from the
outside. I also want to use an old Windows 2000 Server to capture scheduled
snapshots and store them. However, the camera only has smtp and FTP
protocol. I have installed IIS/FTP on the old server, which is not joined to
the domain. The problem is that I can see that the snapshots are captured
but not get stored on the server and the log on the camera says ACCESS TO THE
FTP SERVER DENIED or CANNOT CONTACT FTP SERVER. I have no idea what blocks
it. Frankly, I am also not to familiar with configuration of FTP server. I
am sure it is something very simply, but I have no idea. Anyone could help

a) setup the ftp site, then configure write access at both ftp level and
ntfs level.
b) use ftp.exe locally to test, make sure you can login and upload files.
c) configure your camera with the login, etc to upload the pic.
