FTP setup problem

Question

Hi going mad trying to get FTP to work
Setup as follows;
Router
created service FTP for ports 20…21 and with port forwarding to the server IPaddress
Workgroup Manager
i) created a sharepoint called FTP (with subfolder FTPuser)
ii) created a user "FTPuser"
iii) set home to the sharepoint
iv) created a group FTPgroup (which FTPuser and myself as administrator is part of)
v) set permissions for the sharepoint owner RW-me, group RW FTPgroup, Everyone none
Server Admin
i) set - Authenticated users see "home directory with sharepoints"
FTP root is left at default location
Finder
connect to server ftp://FTPuser:password@serverIPaddress
Tries to connect with error message
"operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred (errror-50)
If I change the FTP settings …user to see"FTP root and share points" I get an error that "could not connect to server because eiher the name or password is incorrect" BTW that has been check a million times.
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated
cheers

Found the solution
Abandon OSX server FTp service and use the shareware Pure FTPd manager.
Works great and you only need one new user with all sites managed virtually through that user.
