On FTP User Isolation setting, FTP root folder is needed for each user.

Create a [LocalUser] folder under the FTP root of the FTP site. (on this example, FTP root is [C:\inetpub\ftproot])

Next, create user folders that folder name is the same with each username and add read and write authority to their folders. (example below is for [Serverworld] user)

That's OK, FTP User Isolation setting has done. Try to access to FTP site from Client Computer.
