Question:

I have read the tutorial on this, but guess that this was written using NT? I'm using XP Pro. if i click properties on the upload folder there is no Security tab. So how do I set up security?

In the default mode, the securities tab when inside of the file system explorer is NOT exposed. This default in XP as then it uses "simple file sharing". You must disable the "use simple file sharing" checkbox in the Tools-Folder Options-View menu.

This will expose the tab that allows more detailed security settings. From there, you need to give the anonmyous internet user (IUSER_machine name) write access to the drive where you are trying to write the files.

For seting up the exact security permissions this tutorial still apply.
