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.
