Is there a way to disable mapping home directories to users in IIS 5
FTP Server? I'm having problems with this feature and I just want to
shut it off site wide. Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no way to modify the behavior other than removing
the virtual folder that maps to the physical folder. (so when the username
is the same as the virtual folder name they get automatically put there)

What problems are you having?

FTP doesn't do this in IIS 5. FTP has a single home folder. If there
is a folder name that is identical to the login name in that FTP home
folder, then FTP will redirect the logged in user there. If you don't
want that, don't create the folder.
