In NT 4.0 with IIS that came with option pack 4. Able to anonymous logon and FTP to selected directories and download files but unable to upload and/or delete files.

Verified "write" selected on main FTP server permission for home directory and also selected "write" on each virtual home directory and those FTP sites with specified IP addresses. "Allow Anonymous Connections" is checked under Security tab of MMC. Receiving error code 550 when using FTP client (CuteFTP).

I need to adjust this FTP server to allow files to be uploaded and deleted. What am I missing?

Look in the User Manager, i mean that account according to the anonymous must be enabled first and then the config under IIS 4.0 functions.

Thanks for the quick response but the User Manager for Domains shows the account to be enabled and set to never expire.

Check your security on the specific folders using NT Explorer. Ensure that the permissions is setup to give the user write capability. The permissions are set as read by default. I hope this helps.

You were close. We resolved this issue by adding IUSR_ and IWAM_ to the group list under permissions and then activating them with read write and add permissions. Thanks for the help anyway.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I've spent alot of time there. The best I've found so far is to check the "Write" permission box but I could be using inaccurate search criteria.

login under Anonymous create a folder
put files in there then you should be able to add and delete what ever is there from Anonymous login
