Removing Protection from a Directory

Note: This topic is for systems without Microsoft FrontPage Extensions. If you have FrontPage Extensions enabled, you need to use the FrontPage interface to manage protected directories.

When you remove password-protection from a directory on your site, all access limitations are removed from the directory. This makes it possible for users to access files in the directory without entering user names and passwords.

To remove protection from a directory:

1. Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page.
   

   To get to the Home page, click Home on the navigation bar at left.

2. In the shortcuts, click Configuration (Web Server section). A list of the directories on your site, identified as either unprotected or protected, is displayed.
3. From the directory list, locate the directory from which you want to remove protection, and in the Actions column, click .

   The HTAccess file is removed from the directory.
