  IIS 6: FTP & HTTP problem? Reply Contact Hello!  I am relatively new in this area, and I have a problem. Yesterday I set up IIS with the FTP and HTTP feature. Followed a few guides I found on the Internet: http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/IIS/iis1.php & http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1491&page=2 My problem is that I am asked to enter a username and password when you try to browse the HTTP or FTP sites. I can fiddle around with the account settings and change the username/password but it still won't be accepted. What should I do? I wish to have an account, say admin, with all rights available for the FTP. Noone else should be able to log in. Same thing for the HTTP, but anonymous users should be able to read/enter the website but not be able to touch anything. Is this possible? Cheers and any help at all is appreciated! // Zolomon

How can I tell what the default account/username is, because the one that I chose doesn't work - perhaps I am writing it wrong? Should the box be ticked which says "Only allow anonymous connections"? If it is ticked I can enter an account name and password, otherwise not.

  Re: IIS 6: FTP & HTTP problem? Reply Contact You can try this for HTTP and a is similar with FTP. USERS and GROUPS: Verify that the Internet Guest User is active, normally it's IUSR_WEBUSER and belongs to the Guest group.  IIS: On Authentication Methods, Check "Enable anonymous access".  The user name and password must match your Internet Guest User. WEBSITE DIRECTORY:  Set allow permissions on "Read & Execute", "List Folders Contents" and Read for the Internet Guest User.  Double check the Home Directory's Local Path. If this does not work, allow all permissions to Everyone on the website's directory as a quick test.  If it works and the site is live take if off immediately and add only the permissions required.
