We have a CF application in place running on Windows 2003 Web edition (which
doesnt have Active directory)

Users can login and use information in the Database and update them. we need
to allow them to upload files and create folders for themselves. Files should
be available to some users and everyone.

ColdFusion takes care of access control to any .cfm and .cfc file with our
existing loging system by storing their user name and password in a database.

How can I do something to allow a user to access his or her own files and
other people. If I just allow them to upload the files , since the files must
be in /htdocs (the web shared directory) they will be available to everyone!

I tried to integrate CF with NT security, look at :

but it requiers a windows domain witch we dont have , and I want users to be
able to create more user accounts,...

any solutions?
