Step 1.  Replace the operating system on the server (Windows Server 2003) with FreeBSD 6.2.
             During the installation, select the option to activate inetd and uncomment the ftp line
             in /etc/inetd.conf.


Step 2.  Login as root and create your users using the command 'adduser'.

Step 3.  Using a text editor, such as vi, create the file /etc/ftpchroot and add each user name on

            its own line.

Best of luck,
