Windows WEb Server sp2
I am running Windows Web Server sp2 and hosting 2 websites.
Recently we have found the need to let our client have access to their website files to make changes.
I need to find a way to share those files without access to anyting else. It would be nice to have a cpanel effect if possible.
If not what is the best way to share from the outside.
Thanks

Brilliant Windows 2008 IIS 7 or 7.5 already come with feature that you can use to do this.
1. Open IIS Manager
2. In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node and select the site for which you want to grant permission to an IIS Manager user
3. In Features View, double-click IIS Manager Permissions.
4. On the IIS Manager Permissions page, in the Actions pane, click Allow User.
5. In the Allow User dialog box, select IIS Manager to select a user account that is valid within IIS Manager but that is not a Windows account. Then click Select to open the Users dialog box.
6. On the Users dialog box, select a user and then click OK.
7. Click OK to dismiss the Allow User dialog box.
Let me know if this help or you need more information.

Ok the IIS Manager option is greyed out when I select allow user?
Apologies for getting back before now.
Is your IIS Server part of Domain or just in workgroup?
If it a work group you will need to create user in IIS Manager.

Great Article, Thank You.
Just to be a little more specific and maybe you can give me more details, My website files are on the C drive of the Server in a folder called "Web files". I only want the outside user to be able to access these files to update there site. could mean add or deleting files or just changing dates on certain files.
They do not need to manage my IIS Settings on any site or application.

If I understand what you are saying, you just want to give access to the website contents folder. If this is the case you will need to enable FTP, set up username and password, then grant permission.
Let me know if this is want you want to do and I'll send the details.
