IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

MORE INFORMATION
As of January 2001, no shipping method exists for the Posting Acceptor. The Posting Acceptor has been retired as a product. It is no longer available as a download through the Internet, nor is it included in any current product.

Users who require a file upload technology can use one of the following:
 * ASP.NET File Upload Control: Microsoft recommends this technology. The ASP.NET File Upload Control is based on the latest .NET technologies, and uses either Microsoft Visual Basic .NET or Microsoft Visual C# .NET.
 * Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV): WebDAV is based on industry standards, and allows users to upload and view files remotely.
 * FrontPage Server Extensions: FrontPage Server Extensions have long been used as an upload method for updating Web sites, and are available for Internet Information Server (IIS) versions 4.0 and later.
 * Third-party upload control: Many file upload utilities are available. You can use a search engine to find a list of options.
