Hi all,

I have a product I want to be able to download from other web sites. Usaully my resellers. Its a single .exe of 5 meg.

Any suggestions as how to improve the security?

This is how I've set my permissions to keep wonderers out:

---------
Permission Manager

A. Directory Tree
\htdocs
Username Read Write
anonymous Allow Allow


\bin
Username Read Write
anonymous Deny Deny


\ cgi-bin
Username Read Write
anonymous Deny Deny


\ download
Username Read Write
anonymous Allow Allow


\ stats
Username Read Write
anonymous Deny Deny


\_database
Username Read Write
anonymous Deny Deny


-----------
IIS Manager
IIS Directory Browsing
OFF

-----------

Any suggestions as how to improve the security?





Thanks,
Barry G. Sumpter

Permission looks very tight already.

Is your site even working w/ such permission?

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for the reply.

At the moment, I don'w want to actually function as a site.

It's only functioning as a repository for a singe file download.

So no need for Admin or Anonymous access to do anything other than a single file download.

I might have forgot to mention that I use FTPZilla to access the file for updates.



Thanks,
Barry G. Sumpter
