Filezilla server, get 530-User cannot log in, home directory inaccessible.

We use Filezilla server as our ftp server. Moved a directory from another drive to the C drive, and changed the filezilla user's home directory. Now I'm getting:


C:\Users\myuser>ftp as400
Connected to As400.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (As400:(none)): myuser
331 Password required for myuser.
Password:
530-User cannot log in, home directory inaccessible.
 Win32 error:   The system cannot find the path specified.
 Error details: File system returned an error.
530 End
Login failed.

Notes:

The win32 message only appears if the client is run on the filezilla server's PC. If run from other machines it does not appear.

I have tried giving all access to the home dir to myuser, and to netadmin (filezilla's user)

I have tried deleting and recreating the user in filezilla.

The home directory specified on myuser's profile exists. I locate it using the browse function (there is no spelling errors)

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. An IIS FTP server somehow also got started (it shouldn't have been) and even though filezilla was started, the IIS was the one listening on port 21.
