Hi all
I've got a situation. I'm uploading files via PHP to a Windows Server 2008 (IIS7). The file is successfully uploading to C:\Windows\Temp and then successfully moving to an "uploads/" directory inside the site. However, there's some kind of permissions problem on the file inside /uploads/.
If I point my browser to the uploaded file ("xyz.com/uploads/myFile.docx"), I get a "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials." error.
If I manually move the same myFile.docx into the /uploads/ folder (via my Mac's Finder, not uploaded via PHP), then pointing to the file's URL (as above) successfully downloads the file.
This post:

*seems* like it should address this issue: "... The problem is when Windows copies that file, it keeps the temporary directory’s permissions and doesn’t inherit your web directory’s permissions." But setting most of the existing Windows accounts/objects in Windows\Temp to Full Control doesn't fix the problem.
FWIW: This works fine on my Mac dev server.
Does anybody have any thoughts/suggestions? Is there a specific account/object in C:\Windows\Temp that should be set a specific way?
TIA,
-Joel
