data access permissions

[Ray Costanzo [MVP]]

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.

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.

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.

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

Hi Ray,

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