I have a Windows 200 server that only serves up a single web page of a company profile and allows FTP access.

I have created a a subdirectory named Roll under the home directory. In Roll there are some ASP scripts that I need to run from a remote computer. I thought that I had set all of the permissions correctly but I can not access the directory.

I am new to server setup, though not to programming, and would like to know the best way to set the permissions so that only this one application could access this folder to execute the scripts. So far I can't even access the folder by requesting the directory URL in the web browser as I get an "Access Forbidden" message.

Use the IIS Administration tool... right-click the folder and choose "Properties" .... a properties dialog box will appear... one of the tabs is for Security.
