FTP in Vista 64

[Kue2]

I'm using CuteFtp 8 in Vista 64. I am trying to transfer a file from my
computer to my computer using cuteftp8 as a test. I connect fine but only to
/.
I cannot change this path.How do I change this so I can try a file transfer?
Error messages:
Request denied.
Please verify that the file or folder exists and that you have the necessary
permissions on the server to perform the requested operation.
I am using Microsoft FTP service
The directory I want to be able to "see" is C:\Downloads. How do I configure
the ftp service to "see" the directory?

Re: FTP in Vista 64

You'll have better success asking this over in an IIS newsgroup, I suspect.
The FTP server is part of IIS, and has a different view of the file system.
I know that the server needs to explicitly map the folder for you to see it,
but don't honestly remember the details, I'm afraid. It's NOT something you
can control from the client side.

Maybe it has something to do with the proper user-rights for the folders
you try to access. Remember, Vista is a lot stricter on that, so check them
out.
