I've done what you say:

I made ftp a member of users group and changed the proftpd.conf as described 
by you but still have the same result and of course this time even nobody 
could not work as an anonymous a/c either but still all other user a/c work as 
before.

Since I've got no other version of Windows but Server 2003, what platform are 
you using?


Regards,

Jason

Create a Windows account called "ftp" and edit your /etc/proftpd.conf as
follows:
    <Anonymous ~ftp>
      User				ftp
      Group				users
    ...
    </Anonymous>
