FTP question

the problem is: I want 2 persons have access to some private folders on a
ftp-server (I thougth that basic ftp-authentication was a good method for
that), but I do not want them to give the ability to logon on that server.
So, if they use the windowsaccount and password to access the private ftp
folders to logon on the server, they must receive an error message.

Use a third party FTP server then. Microsoft's FTP server uses
Windows accounts.
