Unable to have FTP or Directory Access

Here's an interesting problem I'm encountering on my dedicated server. I'm a little new to running my own dedicated without management so perhaps I screwed up somewhere or there are security settings of which I'm unaware.

I've created a directory that I want others to be able to see and download the files, all bmp files. I set the directory to 777 permissions but trying to access the directory alone (no htm file within only bmp) yields a 403 error and unauthorized access. Perhaps this is a permissions issue that is set on the server and overrides the directory permission, I'm guessing.

I set up FTP accounts to access a certain directory. That too didn't work and any account logging in username@domain.com and their password just yielded a blank page when logged into ftp://ftp.domain.com using IE. Is there something I'm missing? I thought you could use the ftp client built into IE to login and see the files.

I appreciate the assistance in advance and I've been able to do virtually everything with minimal help. It's fun but there are settings all over whm and apache...
