I have a Win2k Advance Server and I'm using it as my
webserver. The webserver is working fine but I would
like to create a secure directory that requires a
username & password to gain access to it's content. Can
anyone explain how this is done?
 
This is really an IIS issue, appropriate for one of
the inetserver newsgroups.
Basically you need to define the desired directory on disk,
set the permissions so that System and Administrators have
Full control and so that the accounts that you want to be able
to have access are granted list/read
Then, in the IIS mgmt interface you define a new virtual dir
pointing to the directory you have prepared. Once the vdir
is defined in IIS you r-click into its properties and drill into
the security and turn off anonymous access. If you want them
to see the directory listing of files then you check to allow
directory browsing. They will not have upload/write access.
The IIS help system should be able to guide you on doing these.
