Can't access FTP using "Map Network Drive" via IIS in Server 2012

Need help!!
I have 2 Servers (consider the names as A & B) in my environment both running with Server 2012 Std Editions, with IP's in 192.168.235.X ranges

All I want is to set up a FTP Server.
Hence I have installed the IIS, FTP roles and services properly in the Server A. The firewall ports and all are opened for port 21. I was able to set up the FTP Server successfully in this Server A.

The main issue is described as below:
I have shared a folder from the Server B and mapped shared drive as X in Server A. I have added the Administrator and Everyone as security groups. So, I have created another FTP site and pointed the mapped network drive X as the destination of this newly created FTP site.

While I try to access the newly FTP site via IE, ftp://192.168.253.X im getting authentication prompt.
"To log on to this FTP Server, type a user name and password"
I have tried the Admin user name and password but still its not accepting the same also tried by checking the anonymous authentication on but still the same.

FTP Authentication - Anonymous Authentication - Allowed
FTP Authorization Rules -  Anonymous Users - Allowed

So, in general I would like to know the reason why the FTP Server is not working when I changed the destination to the mapped drive while it was working for the local drive which was present in the same Server.

Thanks in advance,
Qucik reponses are much appriciated
