Anyone run into this before?  A few FTP virtual directories on one of our 
servers  were migrated to a NAS device this past weekend. An alias was 
created for this, but it doesn't seem to work with FTP jobs, when the FTP 
job tries to change directory to this virtual directory, you get the 
following error:

550 Logon failure.. unknown username or bad password

For some reason it seems that it can't use the alias. changing it to using 
the real name (NASDeviceName) resolved the issue. 

So for example the previous UNC path was:

\\servername\sharename

This still works from any windows machine in the network due to the alias, 
the only way to get the FTP virtual directory working was to do this:

\\NASDeviceName\Sharename


Thanks,
