How do I set up FTP properly? FAQ would be great

| For some reason I cannot set up the FTP accounts for developers.
I created the account in AD, made sure they are not set up for email and
such, added them to groups with Full Control permissions on the folders they
need access to, they cannot seem to be able to create files, delete, etc...
All they can do is read.
I made sure that the FTP server in IIS allows writing. It just will not
work!
Is there another solution that IIS for FTP? I always thought it was the
poorest feature.
Thanks!

| I think the main difficulty comes from the fact that SBS does not allow
adding local users...
All the FAQs I found told me to create a local user inside of a local group
and to give this local group permission to write in the folder.
But... it is impossible to find the "Local Users and Groups" menu inside of
the "Manage your computer" menu...
I am looking for a simple step-by-step instruction sheet on how to simply
create an FTP server with access to a specific folder, along with the login
and password.
It's a hair pulling situation right now. Thanks!

| The firewall is setup to allow FTP, so is ISA.
I can ping the FTP port but not log on with FTP/IIS.
When I install a 3rd party FTP server, I can log on but get a 550 when I try
to write, even when Everyone is given Full Control permission over the
folder (just for test duration, of course).
I will read the FAQs,

| Without ISA, can you login locally using ftp.exe ?
if yes, then you should bug ISA groups and see what's the correct setting
for it.

You can't "ping" a port. And what specifcally does "not log on" mean?

"Everyone" is a group, it doesn't mean "All Users". If the user isn't
in the group Everyone, then giving Everyone access has no effect.
Third party FTP servers don't normally use Windows users and security.
It may very well be that no change in Windows group access has any
effect.
Use the command line FTP so you see the exact responses. Check the
FTP server logs to see what the request was.
