That strikes me as a silly thing to say. If you don't know how to do it with either one, what is the basis for your feeling? If you have a specific directory that you want to manage with regard to IIS, you set ACLs on it appropriately. Just like you'd set ACLs on files in a SMB share. So, for people who have that experience - practically every Windows server administrator in the world - I suspect IIS is easier. If you don't know how to set ACLs, I imagine it's a toss-up. But honestly, you're putting way too much thought into this, I suspect. Either IIS 6 or Apache will do what you need them to do.
