The answer is run ‘cacls’ from DOS command line. You can just type ‘cacls’ and see the command help.

Example of usage:

cacls C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mypublicfile.txt /E /G Guest:F

• C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mypublicfile.txt is the file, but we can also specify a folder
• Guest is the user we want to give access
• /E means we add to existing file security settings. Without /E, the system will delete everyone else’s access.
• /G must exists before user:access
• F means full access, R means read, W means write

I got this info from this thread when trying to solve permission denied problem of my ASP script when trying to delete a file.

Happy coding!
