Need help setting up login for the FTP server

I setup the FTP server fine. Anonymous logins worked pretty straight forward. However, when I tried to set it up so that specific accounts can log in, I ran into a problem. I just can't seem to set it up so that the user can login.

I created a user named ftp with the password ftp. Everytime I tried to log in this user it would assume that I was an anonymous user, then log me in anonymously. So I removed anonymous login, and then all I was getting is a "Login Failed." after I enter the password. I tried everything.. I even gave it administrator priveleges, but it still would not log in through FTP. I tried logging in the user through the system, and that worked. But still no luck with the FTP.

Please help.. I'm new to this, and I need specifics. Why are all the Microsoft help files so terrible?
