HTTP - FTP Password removing with NTFS

[emarinelli]

I am new to IIS, I don't speak english well, and I have Windows XP Professional. My problem is this:

Three months ago I installed IIS and it worked perfectly, it didn't ask passwords for either HTTP or FTP service, neither local or remote access.

However, I re-installed my system this week, installed IIS and now its behavior is as follows:
- Local HTTP access: Works perfectly, on Internet Explorer I type:

http://localhost/

and it shows my welcome page.
- Local FTP access: ftp://localhost/ It asks my login and password. I don't want this to happen.
- Remote HTTP access:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/

(My IP address) It asks my login and password. I don't want this to happen.
- Remote FTP access: ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ Same as above.

I've rummagged through all the options on both services, mainly the obvious ones as Directories Security (Or Folders Security, don't know the exact translation from spanish), Autenfication and Anonymous Access Control, etc. I've been tweaking all of the options, just to see if it fixes my problem, and it doesn't. Sometimes it gets even worse, 'cause I can't even see my page typing

http://localhost/

I use the NTFS file system. When my site is on this hard drive, the problem shows itself. However, I have a second drive, with FAT32 format, and the problem dissapears.

Please, help me as soon as you can. Thanks.

Go to IIS manager , right click on your FTp and/or Web Site, and go to its properties, and check if annonymous access is checked. A+, MCP, CCNA

Yes, I already did that, and it doesn't solve the problem :-( It think it's something more NTFS related than anything with the IIS

check under properties, what kind of authentication you are using for the site, besides the annonymous, you have three different kind of authentication, Digest Authentication and INtegrated Windows Authentication between them, make sure you dont have the INtegrated one..checked A+, MCP, CCNA

I thank you so much for your concern, but it still doesn't help :-( I've already selected all the possible combinations for those options you tell me and others available in the Properties section on my site in IIS, and the problem never solves.

I think it's got something to do with the NTFS system, 'cause the only way to solve it is move all my files to my FAT32 hard drive, and with the same settings it had (the default ones) my site has no problems. I move it back to the NTFS drive and it comes again :-(

check under your local security policies-->user rights and make sure you have enabled logon locally to everyone.

Nothing... This is turning into an impossible mission... :-S

Every option on IIS I've tried, and it doesn't fix it. The only solution is to put the files on the FAT32 drive. And I right clicked on the folder on the NTFS drive and it is shared for web...

 

[koquito]

It has nothing to do with NTFS...some authentication policies must be applying to the site...the problem is finding where..
Did you check them (policies)? A+, MCP, CCNA

Since you said you reloaded IIS. I would suspect it may have something to do with a password problem. You already had an IIS_USER....account (I cannot remember the name exactly). Anyway, I Believe it to be a password problem. Try resetting password for this account. MCP 2000 - so close to MCSE

Right click on the inetpub and go to the security tab. Give everyone full permission and allow this to be inherited to the subfolders. If this fixes your problem, then you know it's an NTFS permissions issue. One you have that figured out, you can restrict permissions from there.

Good luck,
