area and access to a directory structure of shared files.

IE is the worlds greatest web browser!  ok seriously make you links like
so:

ftp://ftp.bobsfilestore.com

and

ftp://anonymous@ftp.bobsfilestore.com

IE should realize that the latter is for anonymous access.

Now the important part.  Did you setup VSFtp to allow anonymous access? 
It's off by default.
