I want to declare a folder writable and accessible only by a website's application; i.e. not accessible nor writable by a website's user. How would I do that within web.config? Thanks Jeff in Seattle   Jeff in Seattle

Basically, permissions on a folder aren't contained in the web.config and shouldn't be managed there.
