HELP!

I was trying to set up our site to accept FTP and somehow, though I have no idea HOW, I can no longer access the c:\inetpub\wwwroot file, I get an Access Denied error, even when logged in as administrator!!!!

Also, when I try to access the web page over the internet I get an HTTP 401 error saying: "You do not have permission to view this directory or page due to the access control list (ACL) that is configured for this resource on the Web server."

I opened up permissions for all access to no avail. If anyone can help I woudl gretaly appreciate it, I am desperate and frustrated!

Thanks.

As a rule, "Deny" is not recommended...Better just to uncheck "Allow" items. Glad you got it fixed.
