FTP Site Mapped to a Remote Share May Have Access Problems (195259)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q195259 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site: SYMPTOMS
After creating a virtual directory for FTP access that points to a remote
Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path, you may have a problem performing
a GET request. You may receive an Access Denied message, even though the
account used to connect has read and write access.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, grant permissions to the UNC path for the
Windows NT account that is used for anonymous access to the FTP site
(typically the IUSR_<computer_name> account).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information
Server version 4.0.
