Need help on setting folder permissons

[dmaier]

I run a site on a dedicated web server and am trying to solve a problem with a program I have installed. It is in mysite\databases folder and the problem is there is an Access database which can be downloaded if you go to the URL of the database such as entering: http:\\

http://www.mysite.com\databases\teadmin.mdb

What would I need to set for permissions for this so it cannot be downloaded. The program information lists the following:

Make sure you are storing your database files somewhere secure on your web server. If you dont host your site yourself, contact your hosting company to change the permissions on your database folder. It should be readable/modifiable by ASP, but not accesible by the visitors. If you're using Windows XP, you may need to use CACLS tool to grant write permission to your database files.

Can anyone give me some help on what the permissions should be. Here are the current permissons on the folder:
Here are the permissions on the folder:
Users(HOSTIRIANWEB18\users)
Read & Execute
List folder contents
read
write

Theredzone.org(HOSTIRIANWEB18\theredzone)
Full Control
modify
read & execute
List Folder contents
read
write

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Unfornitualy in order for the web site's ASP scripts to access the MS Access database users would need to be able to download the Access database.

Check with your hosting provider. IIS should give you a folder which s out side the web server's view which you can put the MS Access database in.
