Protect
Directories Overview Using
the Protect Directories option, you can limit the
amount of access
users have to your site. You can specify a username and
password for the directory you are protecting. Each protected
directory can have multiple users (each with different
passwords if you prefer) who have access to it. Additionally,
the Protect Directories option can be used to remove
a user’s access from a protected directory. Note:
· In
order to use the Protect Directories option, the Microsoft
FrontPage Extensions option must be disabled.
If it is enabled, then you must use
your version of Microsoft
FrontPage to protect the directories. If the Microsoft
FrontPage Extensions option is enabled, you will
not have access to the Protect Directories option and will
see the following message if you try to access it. Example:
If you
want to grant only select users access to a particular directory
on your site, you can set up protection on that directory
by using one user name and one password. Then, if someone
requests access to files in that directory, you can give
that user the corresponding user name and password.
