Enabling HTTP PUT To a directory on IIS 6.0

To use PUT:
1. Enable WebDAV
2. Add the "Write" permission within IIS for that specific virtual directory
3. Make sure the remote authenticated identity has NTFS write permissions to
the physical directory.

Yes. Use Wildcard Application Mapping, which basically allows an ISAPI
Extension handler to trigger on any request extension, and its scope depends
on where it is configured.

ISAPI Filter is something that triggers on all requests at a global or
per-site scope (and if it parses the URL, on a per-directory or per-URL
scope). Wildcard Application Mapping is an ISAPI Extension whose scope
depends on where it is configured, and that can be global, per-site,
per-directory, or per-URL.

Hi,

I've installed IIS 6.0 and put a web application on it (written in ASP)
Everything works fine (After enabling ASP Pages and Parent Paths)

Question: I have a client application that uploads files to a
pre-defined location on the web server using the PUT command

This does not seem to work unless I enable WebDAV extension on the
server. Is there any way to allow uploading with PUT to a specific
directory without enabling WebDav, or maybe enabling WebDAV only for a
specific directory ???

Also can anyone explain a bit about WebDAV? I've read a bit on th
internet, but I can't seem to understand what exactly it does.

Last question, IIS supports assigning extensions to handler
applications, can directories be mapped to handlers as well, or only by
designing a specific ISAPI filter?

Thanks
