ftp through browser

[ksbigfoot]

I set up my windows 2000 server so I can ftp into it using WS-FTP. I am able to copy and send files to the machine through this application.
But when I try to go through Internet explorer and type in ftp://

http://www.website.com,

it prompts me for a password and username. I am successfull at looking at all the files and folders, but when I try to copy a file from the browser, by right clicking, select copy, go to my machine, right click and select paste I get the following error: "An error occurred copying the selected item".

When I right click on the file, select copy to folder, paste it onto my desktop, I get the following error message:

An error occurred copying the selected items from the FTP Server.
Details:
200 Type set to I.
200 PORT command successful.
550 index.asp: Access is denied.
550 index.asp: Access is denied.

Sounds like a permissions error, but I am not sure where to look. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

dunno really, but on out linux ftp, people just cant connect using IE as ftp client but with a real ftp client it's fine.

weird as the FTP protocol should be standardized.

Sorry, I don't know how, but some of the files that I was trying to copy had totally different permissions assigned to them. Just happened that the one file I wanted to copy had these wacked out permissions.
I changed all the permissions of the files in the folder and subfolders to be the same and it let me copy and paste files successfully.
Thanks again.
