First, you will need to create a sub web that you want to protect. This sub web is
the name of the directory you want to protect and CANNOT exist. Once in
FrontPage, do the following:
1. Select File -> New -> Web
2. Click on 'Empty Web' In the text box labeled 'Specify the location of the new web'
put in your complete domain name and the name of the folder or sub web you wish
to create (i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/folder)
3. Then click on 'OK' and wait while you new sub web is created.
Now that your new sub web is created, you will need to set the password protection for
this sub web. You should already be in your new sub web. To verify, look at the URL in
the title of FrontPage. To password protect this sub web:
4. Select 'Tools' -> 'Security' -> 'Permissions'
5. A 'Permissions' box will appear.
6. Click 'Use unique permissions for this web' and click 'Apply'.
7. Click on the 'Users' tab in the permissions box. You will see your current username
listed. DO NOT remove this username.
8. Click 'Only registered users have browse access'.
9. Click 'Apply'.
10. Click the 'Add' button
11. Fill in the 'Name Password' and 'Confirm Password' text fields and click 'OK'. If
you want to add more users just go click on the 'Add' button again and fill in the
new users information.
12. Click on 'OK' and the 'Permissions' box should disappear.
13. Now only your FrontPage username/password and the user(s) you just setup can view
that sub web or directory.
NOTE: The above steps can vary depending on the FrontPage version at your home.
