doint this via Frontpage.... panel. is quite a chore..

There as to be a Easier way then this..


ok..

Ya got lots of time.. I could write a book on this one.

Go into your control panel and go to the protected directories... it will take you to the front page manager.

Log in with your control panel user and pass

Next, scroll to the bottom of the page and create a subweb. (the name of the subweb will be the same as the folder name you want)

When it askes you what permissions, say same as the main web.

Now click on the name of the folder it just made, the text part. It will take you to another logon screen. (use your controlpanel user and pass)

Now you should be at another frontpage control panel just like the one you were at, except this time at the top it will reflect the name of the directory in the path.

Now click on the "Change subweb permissions" and check the box that says "Use unique permissions for this Web site"

Hit the submit button...

Hit the "administration" tab at the top of the page.

Click on the "Change anonymous access settings " tab...

Check the off button and say Ok...

Now hit the "Manage users" tab..

You'll see your name with an Admin behind it.. That's ok...

Now hit "Add a user"

Enter the user name and password. (all lower case) and check the "
Browser - View pages and documents." button at the bottom of the same page.

That should bring you back to the main user list with the new entry added..

If you would like to view contents of that directory, you're going to have to add that

Options +Indexes

In the .htaccess file. you will also see 2 other directories. when you log in. An "images/" and a "private/"

You should be able to delete the images directory, but I'm not sure about the private..

Either way I'll show you how to hide those 2 directories. I just have to visit the .htaccess site and the Apache site first...
