Its been a while since I set up FTP, but, is this "public" folder a subfolder of
another FTP Virtual Directory?
I can not remember exactly now about these things, but you can create multiple virtual
directories on the FTP server.. For instance, ftp://ipaddress/public, or ftp://ipaddress/adminsonly
These directories are only virtual directories created within the FTP server, and
they actually point to a physical location on the local hard drive.. In the FTP server
you can set what permissions are given on that virtual directory.. So, make sure
that the necessary NTFS permissions are set for the "public" folder, like it sounds
like you've done.. Then create a virtual directory on the FTP server called "public"
to point to the "public" folder and give read and write access to it, or whatever.
Then you should be able to access it with ftp://ipaddress/public (By the way, theres
no reason that shouldn't work from your office also.. So keep me posted on your other
thread..)
Again, it's been a while, so work with me here.. :)
