GeneralMandible Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I have a site I set up www.pebcac.net just for personal use. I have a link on there to a subfolder called football. It is on the left hand side. I want to set a generic user and password for this folder. I can give that to the people in my fantasy football league for them to access information. I don't want it open for anyone to view. How do I do this on a Win2k Server with IIS 5.0? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th0m4z Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 1. Create a local user with password on your webserver2. Modify the NTFS permissions on the files/folders you want to restrict access to so that only your created user has read access to it3. When browsing to your protected file/folder, you visitors will be asked username & passwordif you're not able to physically administer your server, ask your hosting provider to set the permissions....

GeneralMandible Posted August 9, 2004 Author Share Posted August 9, 2004 I did this and it is not prompting for a username and password. It just denies access completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aresgodofwar Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 there are several ways to do this. either use software that does this function, or setup an asp page with a database for username/password.if you will make your own page, make sure the webserver supports asp pages.
