If you want this directory to remain private, so no one other than the FTP
user can have access to it, you'll want to either remove the IUSR account
from the security permissions and/or disable anonymous access to the FTP
site. If you want everyone to be able to access the directory but only the
FTP user to be able to upload new files, just remove write permissions for
IUSR.

Good.

Minimum permissions: read, read & execute, list folder contents. You might
also want to grant write access or even full control if you want the user
to be able to upload files, create new directories, etc.

> SYSTEM - removed this user

Leave SYSTEM in with Full Control or you may run into some permissions
problems.

That's fine.
