I'm using the IIS component that was included with Windows XP Pro. I ripped an audio CD and zipped the files, then copied the zip file into C:\inetpub\ftproot

The archive's filename is "acm_test.zip". Internet Explorer can see the file at ftp://localhost/, but it cannot download it. The WinXP SP2 Firewall is completely disabled. I enabled the IIS WWW component and copied the file into C:\inetpub\wwwroot\michelle (for my sister). http://localhost/michelle/acm_test.zip gives me the same "not authorized" error message, only in HTML form. I created an index.htm file with a link to the file (<html><a href="acm_test.zip">test</a></html>) and I still receive the "not authorized" message when I click the link. If this is a permissions issue, why would I be able to download the index.htm file and not the zip file?

Now I just tested the FTP again and it's working (#$@$!!!?), but not the HTTP server. What can I do?

-SYSTEM
--Full Control (all selected, disabled)
-Users
--Read and Execute (selected, disabled)
--List Folder Contents (selected, disabled)

The properties on the file do not have the Internet User Guest Account listed.

I have not changed any of the default settings since the IIS WWW component was added. It should not be doing this...should it?

under default website you need to create a virtual directory for /michelle/ ... right click on "default web site" then "new" then "Virtual Directory" it is alike 2 steps after that, pretty simple - post if that doesnt work.

I just deleted the file from wwwroot and copied the identical file from ftproot and it worked, which doesn't make any sense. They were *both* copied from My Music. How did one get different security permissions than the other?

Grr :mad:
