Author Setting Up IIS secure website

2004-07-28, 6:18 pm

Just to be clear, all I want to do is secure this folder
so that a login name and password is needed to browse any
information contained in the folder over the internet. I
don't want that same login name and password to be able to
be a user on my computer.
