-====== Windows FTP Server ======
+====== FileZilla FTP Server for Windows ======
 The built-in FTP service for Windows is part of the IIS web server and is quite complicated to set up and get working for many applications.
 We generally use the free FileZilla Server for Windows FTP server requirements.
+==== Add a FileZilla FTP User ====
+As an administrator, on the FileZilla server:
+  - Create a **FTP home directory** for the new user
+    * Probably a sub-directory of your main FTP top-level share
+    * ex: ''E:\Shares\FTP\jdoe''
+  - Open the **FileZilla Server Interface** on your server
+  - **Edit -> Users -> Add**
+  - Define account settings
+  - Add the shared folder (FTP home directory)
+  - Set permissions to the shared folder
