Microsoft FTP IIS 6 Multiple accounts on on IP

I'm trying to set up Microsoft FTP on IIS6  with a single IP address and same port 21  such that user A logs in and goes to folder A and user B logs in and goes to folder B and so on.  I know it can be done under the default FTP instance without creating additional instances.

Yes it can, you create virtual directories for your users (see attached) then set the Alias to that users Username.
So if Jeff Andersons's username is janderson then the alias is janderson. Don't forget to give janderson NTFS permissions on the folder you want him to be able to access.

I've done that but it isn't working.  So for example -   The Default FTP site is pointing to F:\webroot   virtual directory1 is called  user1 and points to F:\webroot\user1  - user 1 has permissions to that folder.

virtual directory2 is called user2 and points to F:\webroot\user2 and user 2 has permissions to that folder.

The default FTP site just has the default permissions set.
oh - the point was  one account can log in fine but the other one can't
