iis ftp : security rights - want anonymous and select users to access certain folders within FTP site

Is the following scenario possible? If so, how do I setup?

I have an FTP site setup that allows anonymous access. I only want the
anonymous user to be albe to read the folders on the FTP site. However, I
want a few users to be able to read/write to a certain folder within the FTP
site.

Example:
videos (FTP home directory)
|
-----Subject 1
-----Subject 2
-----Other

I want the anonymous user to be able to only read all folders, but allow the
user "coach" to read/write to the "Other" folder.

I have removed "write" from the FTP site properties the home directory tab.
Using Windows Explorer, I gave "coach" full rights on the Security tab on
the "Other" folder.

If I assign the "write" priveledge on the FTP site properties, the anonymous
user can then upload files.

How can I resolve?

This is possible, just ensure the proper NTFS permissions are configured
Anonymous - READ
Coach - READ / WRITE.

I think I have this working the way I want using the following:

Created FTP site with the "write" privelege to the home directory
(d:\videos) removed; allow anonymous access
Created FTP virtual directory with "write" privelege enabled - home
directory (d:\video\other)

On the d:\video\other folder, I gave full permissions to the user "coach"
and set "deny write" for the IUSR anonymous Internet Guest account

May be another/better way, but it seems to be working.
