NTFS and IIS Permissions

I have a home folder that has NTFS permissions of:

Adminsitrator - Full
Everyone - Read
and IIS permissions of Read and Execute.

I have a sub folder of the home folder called Inbox that has the following permissions:

Administrator -Full
Everyone - Change
and IIS permissions of Read, Write and Execute.

My goal is to have upload, download, modify capabilities for thr Inbox only and read only for all other folders.

Why is this not working.

BTW  I love this solution.

Hi Jason,
You never need to set IIS "Write" permission, it's better to leave it unchecked.
If you want to enable downloading then check IIS "Read" and if you want to be able to execute scripts then check
"Execute" for the related folder.

For the NTFS pemissions, you should set permissions of Internet Guest Account "IUSR_MACHINENAME" rather than "Everyone"
for proper security.

I suggest you that the home folder has the following permissions:

NTFS -> IUSR_MACHINENAME - Read
IIS -> Read

I suggest you that the folder "Inbox" has the following permissions:

NTFS -> IUSR_MACHINENAME - Change
IIS -> Read

Let me know if you get it to work or not.
