ftp password trouble

[nesredep egrob]

I have recently used the FTP Server available for 2000 pro. I had no trouble and
pictures passed from my computer to UK with no bother.
I have had to set it up again and have followed the instructions available on
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;300662&sd=tech to the
letter for the second time.

Using a FTP client on another computer on the net I have noted that the program
does start and gets past the user which is anonymous but then says 'need
password' and scoots straight past with PASS(hidden) and finishes with not
logged in.
I have also bothered the neighbour with his computer but I get the same result.
The only concession I have allowed this time is to go into the router and set
the in and out filters for TCP to allow but that I presume was unneccessary as I
did not have to do that first time. I have in my mind blamed a program called
FileFolder which is new from MS. However to stop any misgivings, I have
re-installed 2000Pro and only brought across the Documents and Settings from the
old installation.
That is the sum total - if anyone else has the program working, I should like to
know how
