For XP Pro, you must must be running NTFS as your file system, and you must turn off Simple File Sharing (Tools, Folder Options, View tab) for the Security tab to appear.

The permissions issue would appear to be on the server site, not the client side. Ensuse that your IUSR_<machinename> account on the web server has write privileges, or you may need to explictly allow access for your username.
