Iis User Issue

Hi,

This may seem like a trivial question to you guys but i am new to IIS and .net programming. I am running a website on IIS that has been set with anonymous security. This web site writes down some files to a directory on the local machine(TED) that IIS is running on. I would have though that with Anonymous security selected the service would be called using the guest user "TED\USER". Instead it uses the user "TED\ASPNET". Anyone know why this is?

Also the user "TED\ASPNET" does not have write access set for the directory that it writes the files to. Despite this the files still get written to the directory. I am confused as to how this can happen?

Sorry if these quesions are trivial.

Confused!!

Refer to the IIS documentation. For anonymous web surfers, IIS operates in the user context of built-in IIS user accounts. For IIS5 & earlier, the IUSR_computername is the typical anonymous IIS account.

yep and the ASPNET account is used when you execute ASP.NET pages
i.e. pages with .aspx extension. if you write files using ASP.NET code,
you need to grant ASPNET account write permission.
