Hello all,

I want to protect the file from special folder, but keep the access for
editor from CMS (Content Management System) , Is possible to do that on IIS
5 / 6??

e.g: protected folder: http://website1/download/ , but editor can login to
CMS and read and write a file from that directory, how can i do that???

Thanks in advanced.

Hi,

Simply remove the anyonums access for the folder"download" from IIS Manager
for your URL http://website1/download/ and select "Integrated Windows
authentication" this will now ask for user credentials every time user access
the URL http://website1/download/. Create the user for yourCMS (Content
Management System) on the webserver and user those credentials to access the
URL.

Thanks & Regards
