Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)

This is a probably a newbie question, so apologies in advance. I'm running
Win2K server and IIS 5. I have a Delphi CGI EXE program which I would like
to be able to call from an ASP page to create folders on the server (outwith
the WEB site) to hold student documents, but I'm having problems
configuring the permissions. I've disabled the FSO for security reasons
hence the reason for using Delphi. Is it possible to configure IIS5 to
allow this, without compromising security?

TIA

Barry

It's not really a change to the IIS configuration but rather making sure the
appropriate account has the right NTFS permissions to the "root" folder
where you're trying to create sub folders.
