Hi Friends,

I've got an app which uploads files to a folder in my server. Now using ftp services in IIS4 (win NT 4.5 sp6) I would like to garantee that only those files uploaded by the owner could be downloaded by him and that certain privileged users can download files from certain users or groups.
How could I do it?

Thanks
Paulo

Paulo,

Are you allowing anon connections?If you are there is no way of achieving your goal(with IIS).

If not, I would create a couple of groups, assign rights to those groups, ie: who could d/l from each folder etc.(of course make sure the upload folder is on a NTFS part)

Hope that helps.

A group would be the way that I would and have set up FTP permissions. Also, I would check to see if you have allowed Anonymous connections. You can uncheck that option, and only allow the group(s) that you have created access to the ?ftproot? folder. If all of the users are on the same network and you can get their IP addresses, you can ?Grant? only that/those IP addresses access to the folder. Hope this helps! This has been a problem for me too, but I?ve finally, after lots of trialand error, gotten mine setup the way I want it. Roger
