You can get to that (in XP/Server2k3) by going to your Control Panel, opening Network Connections, and clicking on My Network Places in the bar to the left. To do this, you have to go to My Network Places. You need to set up the remote folder as a network location. You will need to restart the FileZilla Server service for this to take effect. Make it an administrator to start with just so you know it works.do proper security later. I strongly suggest you make a new user account for this task.

Go to your Control Panel and open Administrative Tools. This is not the whole puzzle, however, so simply running FZS under your normal administrator account will not solve your problem. You need to set FileZilla Server to run as a different user.
