Ray -- There are two possibilities: 1. You may not have gotten **all** of the ".ini" files. The folder tree is defined by the file "WS_FTP.ini" within the "Sites" folder. The contents of each folder listed in "WS_FTP.ini" are defined by a separate file with an ".ini" ending, and a name similar (but not necessarily identical) to the name of the folder. Thus if you had 8 site folders, you should have moved a total of 9 ".ini" files to the "Sites" folder.
2. One point that the KB article does not mention is that "WS_FTP.ini" lists not only the names of the other ".ini" files, but also their physical locations on your hard drive. If the ".ini" files are moved, this location information will no longer be correct, and WS_FTP does not provide for updating it automatically. To fix this, exit from WS_FTP, open "WS_FTP.ini" with a text editor such as Notepad, and change all of the old drive and path designations to the new location, as listed in your original message, then restart WS_FTP.
