data access permissions

[hugh welford]

Hi,
I am using winXP pro + IIS5.1 to develop my site offline.

My data is in a folder outside the web, and I am told "my IUSR account needs
to have read/write/modify NTFS permissions to the directory housing the
file"

I can find no info on how actually to do this. Can anyone explain?

Thanks in advance,

Hugh

Re: data access permissions

If your machine is in a workgroup, see this first:

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290403

In Windows Explorer, right click the directory, click properties, and see
the permissions tab.

Re: data access permissions

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the answer. I've done what you suggest, but see no "permission s"
tab.

I get "general" "sharing" "websharing " and "custom" tabs.

The "general" tab shows th file attibutes as read only (green filled box). I
un-check this and hit OK. When I relaod the properties box, the box is
checked green again.

Re: data access permissions

Try this (in Windows Explorer):

Tools--Folder Options--View tab--Use simple file sharing: OFF

Then pull up the properties dialog on the directory again and see if there's
a security tab.

Re: data access permissions

Had I noticed your date and time on your original post, I never would have
answered that. You're on your own if it doesn't work.
