Limiting Access to Directory on Server

New Here ,
Jun 23, 2006 Jun 23, 2006
Hi;

I am developing a site where at some point the user can download/display certain PDF documents which are located on the server in a specific directory.

The server is a Windows Server 2003 and I am using IIS 6.0 and my application is ASP VBScript

Now i wanted to be able to upload infomration to that directory directly myself so in IIS I allowed "Director Browsing". This way i could just typein my domain and the name of the directory. i.e. <b>www.mydomain.com/Documents</b> But this also made it possible for anyone to access it as well.

To solve the issue, in IIS i set the security for the directory so that it is not accessable by a web user. But that did not work.

Does anyone know of a solution?

I would be creating a password protected upload page rather than having open
access to the folder.

I thought about that but i didn't seem to be able to get it done? Any idea how i can create an upload page? From what I found out MS IIS 6.0 has the "PUT" method built-in and therefore does not require any components on the server to handle upload data. But i still could not figure out how put a script togeher. Any help would be geatly appreciated.

I have used a commercial script on a couple of sites, called ASP Upload
which you can get from www.dmxzone.com
