IIS and Windows 2000

Hi guyz:)

My mates running IIS on Win2k system, but has trouble deleting psyical
directory and/or file via IIS. I guess this would be due to NTFS permissions
granted under Windows wouldn't it. Access under PSW is Read only which I
would assume would apply to uses accessing the web server.

I told my mate to make sure the security under the psyical directory is Full
Control, Read, Write & Modify, Is thid correct ? As for Everyone, I wuolda
thought the most restricted acess would automatically apply.

Regards

A lot of this depends on how he's trying to delete the file/folder.
If he's using a web site anonymously, then it's the anonymous user
accoun that needs the proper NTFS permissions. Which is dangerous
since then anyone can delete the file/folder in question.
