iis security : IUSR_Machinename not being inherited by new child objects?

Hello

I just noticed that new files I add to subdirectories contained within my
main home directory (which is set to apply all security settings to child
objects) will not inherit any security settings....where am I going wrong?
(I specifically need IUSR_Machinename to be inherited to everything that
gets added to my file structure to avoid errors.

I'm running IIS 6.0

Thanks!

I didn't realize that a move didn't inherit the properties of the folder it
was being moved to.

Thanks Ken!

Adjust this via explorer.

You should set the parent folder to allow inheritance of NTFS permissions,
and you should set each folder to allow inheritance of permissions from
higher level folders.

Additionally, you should copy files onto the server (copying means that the
file inherits permissions defined on the destination folder). If you move
the files, then the current permissions are copied, and file does not
inherit permissions on the remote machine.

Cheers
Ken
