Securing FTP

I am setting up an FTP server on IIS5.

I want to allow users to place files on the server, but not read any files back or even list the folder contents.

I have setup the FTP home directory with just Write permissions within IIS, and I want to restrict the NTFS permissions to the home directory as well. However, whenever I remove any NTFS Read permissions the FTP login fails.

Why does this happen ? Why are Read permissions needed when trying to login ?


TIA


Rob
