Protecting Directories
Note: In order to use the Protect Directories option, the Microsoft FrontPage Extensions option must be disabled. Otherwise, you must use your version of Microsoft FrontPage to protect the directories.
To Protect a Directory:
- The Directory Protection Manager has a drop-down menu in the Directory field. You will use this drop-down box to locate which files you want protected. For example, if you want to protect your site's Guestbook Manager, locate it in the Directory drop-down menu and click Load.
- Clicking Load brings up a form where you may add and modify users for a directory. To add a user, type in a user ID and a password and click Submit.
- Set up a username and a password to give a user secure access to the selected directories.
- Click Submit.
To change a user's password:
- Select the directory you wish to work with, and click Load.
- Enter the user's username, and their new password.
- Click Submit.
Note: You may have to close and reopen your browser, before access is denied to you when testing your new directory protections.
To remove a user:
After selecting the directory and clicking Load, scroll down to the Remove a user for Directory field, select the User ID from the drop-down menu, and click Remove. To remove all protections from a directory, simply repeat for each user in the directory.
