I’m interested installing ASP FileMan 6.3 ( http://www.iisworks.com/fileman/ ) as to mimic kind of FTP access to selected sub-directories. The install instructions are as follows with some comments I would like feedback on:
General installation steps
Download and unzip the application to a folder in your Webroot, for example /MyApp. - comment: EASY
Create an “Application” for the MyApp virtual folder in IIS. Without an application, it will not run (see related article)!

Check the settings in global.asa and modify them to fit your needs - comment: EASY
Register all included controls in the /Controls folder (OCX and DLL) using regsvr32.exe .

Make sure that the IIS anonymous webuser IUSR or any other relevant user/group has NTFS “Modify” permissions in the applications MyApp folder: Windows Explorer- Rightclick - Properties - Security tab - Add user “IUSR__SERVERNAME” - Check " Modify" - Click OK

Remove “Read” permissions in IIS (not NTFS!) from the /Database folder and any other folder you want to prevent downloading from: Start “Internet Information Services” - Select KB Virtual directory - Properties - Directory Tab - Uncheck “Read”

Load the diagnostics page http://yourserver/myapp/diags.asp for a final requirements check. Rename or remove it after you are done!
- comment: EASY
Start http://yourserver/myapp and login as administrator to configure the application and/or modify accounts (if provided by MyApp, default user/pass is “admin” or “pass”)
