Upload & Download IIS7

Dear GleamTech Support Team,

I use IIS7.0 on a german Windows Server 2008 x86 Installation. The system use ASP .Net 2.0.

There I created a new website with a new file root and put all WebExplorer Lite files in it.

In the config.asp file I deactivated the password, showing of hidden files and displaying of the path.

I use as wexRoot the webfolder "/files". All authentificated users have read access. Some users have also write access.

Now there are three problems.

1.) Only the Download of  txt files is possible through WebExplorer Lite. The download through webfolder is without problems. For example If I use the "B" Icon.

I get the message: "Die Webseite kann nicht angezeigt werden."
=> In english: "the website is not viewable."

2.) Upload is only possible if the webfolder has a special security setting so that all users are able to create new files. How is it possible that WebExplorer Lite use the NT user security?

3.) In the future there should be some folders not viewable by all users. I tried that, but if I give only some users the read access, then no one is able to see the files.

I searched allready in the forum, but I found no working solution.

Please for help.

regards, Reisenhofer

Additional informations...

...the files has no space character
...the files has no special german signs, like "ü"
...it seems to me, that the error message depends on the file size.

Hello,

Maybe for Problem 1.) I found the solution...

1.    Open a command prompt.
2.    Change to the "Inetpub\Adminscripts" folder.
3.    Run the following:
cscript adsutil.vbs set /W3SVC/AspEnableChunkedEncoding "FALSE"
4.      Run the following: iisreset /noforce

After that all, it should work without further error messages.

Ok, I found the solution for Problem 1.) and 2.) also by myself...

If the IIS does not allow anoym users, then NT Security works perfectly with Web Explorer Lite.

It's not the best way (of course, everybody need now a login), but so I'm able to give several users different permissions.

The same problem for Downloading in IIS7.0 is also in IIS7.5.

Therefore also on Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS 7.5:

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change to the "Inetpub\Adminscripts" folder.
3. Run the following: cscript adsutil.vbs set /W3SVC/AspEnableChunkedEncoding "FALSE"
4. Run the following: iisreset /noforce

After that all, it should work without further error messages.

Your are not able to install IIS 7 on Windows XP. IIS 7.0 is only available on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. IIS 7.5 is only available on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

This also works on Windows 2012.  You have to install the IIS 6 management scripts to get adsutil.vbs into the adminscripts folder.

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Change to the "Inetpub\Adminscripts" folder.
3. Run the following: cscript adsutil.vbs set /W3SVC/AspEnableChunkedEncoding "FALSE"
4. Run the following: iisreset /noforce

After that all, it should work without further error messages.
