SYMPTOMS
========
After creating a virtual directory for FTP access that points to a remote
Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path, you may have a problem performing a GET
request. You may receive an Access Denied message, even though the account used
to connect has read and write access.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, grant permissions to the UNC path for the Windows
NT account that is used for anonymous access to the FTP site (typically the
IUSR_<computer_name> account).
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Information Server
version 4.0.
