Web Folders

All...

I need a web folder setup for developers to read .asp files but not be able
to write to them...

In the docs I have seen, I basically have to setup the v-directory, give dir
browsing, read, write and script source access permissions in IIS. The users
also have read NTFS permissions to the files. This should be sufficient in
what I have read. But the developers cannot copy the file to there local
system. They can connect to the server fine, but cannot view any .asp files.
HTM etc files are fine, just .asp files. The funny thing is, if I give the
developers write NTFS permissions to the directory, everything is fine. But
then they can write over the file if they want...and I don;t want them to.

Is this a bug or is there something I am missing?

Environment: WinXP Pro trying to see files on Windows 2003 Standard.

Before you ask if WebDav is anabled, let me answer your question. Yes it is.
Also, the WebClient service is started on both the client and the server.

thanks for any help...

Then don't get them write or modify access.

No. You don't need write access unless you're writing. I know it sounds
silly but that's why it's called WRITE access.

Then the anonymous user should not have rights at all if you want to
guarantee they use integrated logons.

Because the IIS server tries to execute the .asp file when they try to get
it.

As it should so don't give it to them.

Why are you allowing them to download .asp files? If they're on an
Intranet, let them go through the network to get the file. They don't need
to get it through the browser. Or you can push it to them but that requires
more development.

I would never ask that. (O:=
