I use IE6.

I recreated the ftp site. When I don't isolate the users it works fine. i
don't understand why I can't connect when I isolate the users and permissions
are set to full control.

Thanks for your help

Even with ftp.exe ?
what do you get ? home folder inaccessible?
if yes, make sure you have the predefined path created. e.g.
localuser\usernameX\
