    The account that is authenticated would need read/write permissions on that directory.

    First, you must ensure simplified file sharing is disabled: How to disable simplified sharing and set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP

    Then, determine if you're using Windows Authentication or Anonymous Authentication.

    Next, Right-Click the folder you wish to set these permissions on and then click Sharing & Security. Then select the Security tab.

    If using Windows Authentication, you will need to add each user (or group) to the list. Otherwise, add the IUSR_machinename account.

    Finally, select the desired permissions and apply.

    Actually, it's pretty simple. By default, Windows XP uses Simplified File Sharing, a feature that I find very annoying. Once this is disabled per the instructions in the link above, all you have to do is get to the folder's security tab and add the user(s) you want and then give them Read and & Write permissions. Then you'll be all set

    How are you trying to view the files in the folder? Are you physically trying to open the folder or are you doing it through your web app?

    Can you take a screen shot of the folder's security tab and post it here?

    when i try to view from Windows Explorer or IIS, it says "Access is denied".
    Same with IE "You are not authorized to view this page"
    and "HTTP 401.3 - Access denied by ACL on resource"

    And now i dont see a security tab for that folder, only sharing tab.
