That's likely because the IUSR_machinename account doesn't have write permissions on the directory.
Adding write permissions for the IUSR account on that directory would be a **bad** idea - you would likely find you drive full of pirated programs and porno movies within a few days.
Try adding your user account with Full permissions to the ftproot directory and try loggin in again..... :-)

OK, so the ftp server is working, you just need to sort out permission and right of your own username account.
Just to convince yourself that it is a permissions and right issue, try using the administrator user/pass to log on.
Also, if it is a domain user then enter username in the form "domain\usrname"
Cheers.
