file access

[Richard]

I have a web application that is to read our log file. That file is not in
the same tree and the web folders but I do have access to the folder via
ftp.

I setup my app with windows authorization and authorize with my ftp id and
password but I still get an exception "access denied" when I attempt to a
list of files in the particular folder.

Is there something I need to do (besides giving the base asp process read
access, I do not want everyone to be able to read the files).

Thanks
Richard
