I'm running IIS 4.0. I set up ftp server with anonymous, which I don't give write permmision when creating a virtual site. Now I want to setup a site that allow permission on specific users to log on. I tried to give read/write permission, but seem like anyone can get in that folder and delete the information. I check the NT permision on the folder that only domain user has write to enter. What should

your question broke of so ...
you need 2 users, 1 for the normal logon to the ftp site and then 1 more so they can write in the ftp site.
The 2nd kind you will to give read/write in nt as well in the security properties of the ftp server.

The normal ones can logon anonymous the others you will need to create a account for them that they can use to enter the ftp site to write.

Hope this helps.

Do the following...
REMOVE "ANONYMOUS" access from IIS-FTP !!! It could cause your server to get hacked.

For User having read only permission, make user say "ReadOnly" on server.
1. In his Profile, Add his Home-login folder to a folder on Server's NTFS partition (say "D:\FTP\ReadOnly").
2. Grant him "Read Only" permissions & "all" permissions to Admin fo this folder.

For User having Read/write permissions, make another user say "ReadWrite".
1. In his Profile, Add his Home-login folder to a folder on Server's NTFS partition (Say D:\FTP\ReadWrite")
2. Grant him & admin "read/write" permissions to this folder.

In IIS FTP, add these two users + admin.

Now when User "ReadOnly" logs in to FTP, he automatically goes into D:\FTP\ReadOnly folder where he can only pickup files (not create folders or put files).

When User "ReadWrite" logs in to FTP, he automatically goes into D:\FTP\ReadWrite folder where he can ick up files, put files, create folders etc.

Thats all !!
