Anonymous FTP server - Windows cannot access this folder

post output of

ls -ld /mnt/sda1/ftp /mnt/sda1
~# ls -ld /mnt/sda1/ftp /mnt/sda
ls: /mnt/sda: No such file or directory
drwxrwxrwx    3 root     root          8192 Jan 22 16:35 /mnt/sda1/ftp

Does it matter that I'm using FAT32 on the USB stick?

there was a typo in that last command, re-run it, and edit your last post.

FAT32 def doesn't help, but shouldn't be causing this.

root@ASUS:~# ls -ld /mnt/sda1/ftp /mnt/sda1
drwxrwxrwx    4 root     root          8192 Jan  1  1970 /mnt/sda1

For non-anonymous users FTP works with this config

# cat /etc/vsftpd.conf
background=YES
local_root=/mnt/sda1
listen=YES

write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
check_shell=NO

session_support=NO

local_enable=YES
userlist_enable=YES
userlist_deny=NO
userlist_file=/etc/vsftpd.users

after I created a user, their home directory owned by them, and added that login to vsftpd.users.
