I've created a web page for file copy/paste/delete operation for local files within my server. In order to access the site I've made used of NT Authentication. I've created a user with Full Control on all the folders it needs to access. This is thesame user I used in IIS to be authenticated for the web page.

Accessing the webpage is no problem, the thing is whenever after I copy a file second time around (overwrite part)I get a Permission Denied message.

I have included the designated user, Administrator and System Full Access to all folders that it needs to access.

Another test that did not work was I gave
Interactive & Network=Full Access. It only functions well when the user is included as Administrator which I can't implement.

Any idea? Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, when you create a new file ie. copy and edit, the default permissions from NT is everyone=full control. So theoretically, your user should be getting access to the new file as should anyone else who knows it's there (hint hint). Onthe web folder, have you checked the little box ensuring that permissions filter through to subfolders and subdirectories? Is your new user a part of the everyone group or is he logging on locally through the IIS server bypassing the network? Might be a good place to start looking.
Good luck!

Thanks Mike, but I have crosscheck all the possible things with applying permissions. I did have advancement applying same permissions on my webpage directory(inetpub\wwwroot\webpage)just to find out another glitch! And now I'm dealing with an errorwith SQL database. Well thanks anyway!
