Protecting directories through the FrontPage interface

- Note: This topic is for systems with Microsoft® FrontPage® Extensions enabled. If you do not have FrontPage extensions enabled, use the Site Administrator control panel to protect directories.

You can protect directories on your site to limit access to files located in those directories. If you have FrontPage enabled for your site, you do this through the FrontPage interface. You can link to this interface from the Site Administrator control panel.

- Important: You can protect directories only; you cannot protect individual files. If you want to protect a single file, either place that file in an existing protected directory, or create a directory specifically for that file, then protect the directory.

To access the Microsoft FrontPage interface:

1. Click the Shortcuts tab on the Home page
   .

2. In the shortcuts, click Configuration (Web Server section).

3. Click Protect Directories.

4. In the Protect Directories form, click Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions Permission Management Interface.

5. Note: Your Microsoft FrontPage login information is the original Site Administrator user name and password assigned to you when your site was created.
   If you have changed your Site Administrator user name or password since then, the change is not reflected in FrontPage login. You can change the FrontPage login using the FrontPage Extension Permission Management Interface.
   For more information, see the FrontPage user documentation.
