Making, pages, directories, writable (CHMOD) in IIS (localhost)

Ok, I isntalled IIS locally so I can develop, I installed some scripts and stuff on my server, but some of my scripts require some directories and files to be writable. Mainly since I am coding in PHP, and I need to write into text files, and I have scripts that upload images and stuff. Everytime I try it it gives me an error, that I do not have the permissions or whatevah. In Apache (locahost) i dont have to CHMOD or anything, but in IIS(locahost) I do.

My question is how do I make files and directories writable, like in ftp you would CHMOD it to like 777.

Help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Use the windows explorer security tab to change permissions. chmod is not available in windows.

How do I ge the security tab, sorry I am new to IIS. I knew that CMOD wasnt available on windows, but I knew there had to be something similar to it. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

What version of windows? And are you on a NTFS disk?

If you have 2k or xp and are using ntfs, open windows explorer and navigate to the folder in question, right-click, open properties, and look for the security tab.

On xp, if you don't see a security tab, you need to turn off "simple file sharing", search help for details it's somewhere in the windows explorer tools options.

Ah ok, woot thanks a lot. I got it working now, but I cant set it for individual files can I?

Yes you can set permissions differently for individual files with NTFS.
