I think I already know that what I'm requesting is impossible, but I thought
I should ask in case I'm wrong ;)

A client has requested an anonymous ftp site (IIS6). I told them it would
have to be read-only, I don't want anonymous users reading and writing,
because otherwise the site would be used for nefarious purposes. But they
asked if it is possible to make a subfolder writable by the anon user, and
have this subfolder have a size quota, so that if it were subverted at least
the entire volume wouldn't be filled up.

As far as I know in win2003, storage quotas are configured for a volume (not
a folder), on a user-by-user basis. Furthermore, I know of no way to specify
a different anon user for a subfolder from the one at the root (because if I
could just use a different anon user in the folder, then my problem would be
solved and I'd apply a quota against that user only).

Is this all correct or is there some special workaround that I'm not aware of?

Thanks.
