We just setup a Windows 2003 box with IIS6. I would like to setup a way for all our web developers to upload file for our website securely using WebDAV (at somepoint we will have an SSL certificate). I'm trying to stay away from enabling FTP, so all uploads would be done using WebDAV. We are in an Active Directory environment so all authentication would be taken care of when a user logs onto their computer. I've read through the IIS6 Resource Guide and tried to setup WebDAV. I can make a connection in Dreamweaver using WebDAV successfully, but uploads are denied. The account I'm using to make the WebDAV connection is part of the Admin group, but things aren't working. I've even set the permissions on the directory to allow write and it still won't work. Also, is there any reason why I can't have WebDAV be the only way people can upload file to the webserver, or do I need to use FTP at some point? Any help would be appreciated.

Secure uploads in IIS6 by doug

If you are trying to upload anything other than html
files or text files, you will also have to set the Script
Source Access on the properties page in IIS. If you are
trying to upload .asp files, this needs to be set...
