  1. 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,

    Permission looks very tight already.

    Is your site even working w/ such permission?

  3. 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,
