Restricting Access: Password Protection ** (Only use this method if you are not using MS FrontPage. If you are using Microsoft FrontPage refer to that section in the Support Center for instructions.):

You can password protect your directories/files by just clicking on the button in your Control Panel that says Protect Directories. Then choose the directory you want to password protect. Then put in a password for that directory/file. To remove the password protection just choose the directory and then press "remove" next to the password protection line.





How to password protect a directory or create a sub web in FrontPage 2000/2002 Top

If you want to password protect a directory or create a sub web in FrontPage 2000/2002 please follow these directions:

1. Create a new folder in you web by clicking File/New Folder. (OR choose the folder you already have that you want to password protect or turn into a sub web).

2. Click on that folder and right click and choose 'Convert to Web'. It takes about 10 minutes for it to convert the folder to a web so be patient.

3. If using FP 2002: Choose Tools/Server/Change Permissions and click on 'Change Anonymous Access Settings' and then turn anonymous access OFF and click Submit, then go to 'Change sub web permissions' and choose 'Use unique permissions for this web' and click Submit. Then go back to FP and choose Tools/Server/Change Password and put the password for the main web, and put in what the new password is.

4. If using FP 2000: Choose Tools/Security/Permissions and click on the Settings Tab and choose 'Use unique permissions' then choose the Users tab and click the box next to 'Valid username and password required to browse web'. Then go to Tools/Server/Change Password and put in the password for the main web, and put in what the new password is.

You can now use this folder as a 'web folder' which means if you put an index.html file in that folder, you don't have to use the name 'index.html' when accessing that file. All you have to use in the URL is the folder name and FrontPage will automatically find that file for you.

If you have more questions about how to use FrontPage, please contact Microsoft at: 425-454-2030.
