If you are using the FrontPage extensions and want to password protect a folder, it's best to apply the password protection the "FrontPage Way". This is because applying password protection the "control panel/htaccess way" modifies the FrontPage htaccess file, often corrupting or confusing the FrontPage extensions.

Note: some of the prompts in the following instructions may vary slightly depending on the version of FrontPage you're using.

* In FrontPage, create a new folder in your web and move the page(s) you wish to protect into the new folder.

* Right-click on the new folder and choose Convert to Web. This will create what FrontPage calls a subweb in the folder.

* Select the File menu and choose Publish Site. Publish to web address http://yourdomain.com (substitute your own domain name and don't use the www part). Make sure to include the subweb by placing a check in the check box. In FrontPage 2003, include the subweb by clicking Remote Web Site Properties then clicking the Publishing tab and placing a check in the box to Include Subsites. After publishing, select the File menu and choose Close Site to close the web site on your computer.

* Select the File menu and choose Open Site to open your web site live on the server. You must open the site live in order to apply the password protection to your new subweb folder. Open web address web address http://yourdomain.com (substitute your domain name and don't use the www).

* In your web site open on the server, double-click the subweb folder to open the subweb on the server.

* In the subweb, select the Tools menu and choose Server... Administration Home.

* In the Users and Roles section, click the link to Change Subweb Permissions. Select the option to Use Unique Permissions for this Web Site and click the Submit button. At the top, click the Administration link to return to the Administration Home.

* Click the link to Change anonymous access settings. Select the option to turn Anonymous access off and click the Submit button. At the top, click the Administration link to return to the Administration Home.

* Click the link to Manage Users. Click the link to Add a user. Enter the username and password, select the user's role, and click the Add User button. If you are finished adding users, click the Administration link to return to the Administration Home.

* If you are finished making changes, select the File menu and choose Close Site.
