How To Prevent Unauthorised Views of site files

[IanRow]

When I have uploaded my site files I want to be able to prevent unauthorised views of these files and the site directory structure.

How can I do this such that user gets a 'You are not authorized to view this page' HTTP 403 error[?]

Ian,

If you are using ASP.net, you can control access by using the built in feature of ASP.net authorization. You can do that by changing the web.config file. A good walkthrough can be found here

We do not offer password protection as of currently. We should have this feature by end of Q3.

Hi,

We are on discountasp.net. Is that the same as asp.net?

Thanks

I think there is some confusion. When bruce was mentioning ASP.NET, he meant programming in ASP.NET, not ASP.NET as a hosting company.

DiscountASP.NET specializes in hosting ASP and ASP.NET driven websites.

Look in the Online Resources Forum here to get more information about ASP.NET.
