iis ftp : anonymous read only vs users full control

I have setup an FTP site on a Windows 2003 Server and I need some help
configuring it so that it allows anonymous users Read only but any
authenticated users that are in the ACL full control.

It seems that if I turn on Read Only, it applies it to everyone including
anonymous. If i turn off Ready Only, it also applies it to everyone.

I did that but it's still allowing the anonymous user to write, delete, etc.

Open up IIS manager, right click the FTP site, select properties, select the
Home Directory Tab. Is there a check mark in the write box? If so then
uncheck it. Either that or you will have to configure the user permissions
accordingly in the Server Management. I hope this helps

I don't think so. unless the anonymous account has WRITE permission, the
account can't write/delete etc
What's the ACLs of those folder/files

system - full
administrator - full
iusr - ????
xxxx ????

You should control it at NTFS level.
Go to the physical folder where the FTP site mapped to, then control the
ACLs there
Grant - iusr_computername (default anonymous account) READ
then - youruser (any user account) READ/WRITE/FULL Control/ETC

Ok, I figured it out. The permissions were as follows:
Admins --Full control
System --full control
IUSR --Read, Read & Execute, List contents
Users --Read, Read & Execute, List contents, special permissions (inherited
from above). Special permissions =Create files/write data, create
folders/append data

The key was the "special permissions" that Users had. IUSR is considerd a
user so it was also getting the permissions that Users were getting. I
removed the Users group from the list and now it works.

Yeay!!!

Told you........ :)

It's either the permissions were granted specifically to the user or inherit
from group permissions where the user belong to.
