   -or-

 - the files you are posting are marked as read-only.

Steps to Create a New FTP Virtual Directory and Allow Write Access
------------------------------------------------------------------

1. From the Start menu, open the Internet Service Manager on the server
   computer. This starts up Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

2. Click Console Root, then click Internet Information Server, then click
   the name of your Web server machine.

3. Start up Microsoft Management Console (MMC).

4. Right-click on "Default FTP Site," choose "New," and then choose
   "Virtual Directory" from its context menu.

5. Type in an alias to be used to access the virtual directory (for
   example, ftpupload).

6. Enter the physical path of the directory to map the virtual drive (for
   example, c:\inetpub\ftproot).

7. Select the checkbox "Allow write access."

   NOTE: Allowing write access to a virtual directory is a SECURITY RISK.
   Make sure you only allow write access to virtual directories you know
   are secure.

8. Right-click on Default FTP Site and choose "Stop."

9. Right-click on Default FTP Site and choose "Start."

Giving Access to an Existing FTP Directory

   click the name of your Web server machine.

7. Right click on Default FTP Site and choose "Start."

   IMPORTANT: If you get the FTP authentication dialog box, type in
