I have installed Frontpage Extensions on my IIS4 web server (hosted on a Windows NT4 SP6a member server).
I was hoping to use Web Folders as a means for my LAN users to access their “home” directory from home (through their ISP), through my web site, without having to learn the intracacies of ftp.
This is a high school so my home directories are grouped by year of graduation (eg \users\2002\student1). I created a virtual directory on IIS for each group (eg. 2002) and set the Frontpage Extensions administrator to the “administrators” group.
When I try to access a Web Folder from home (eg. http://mywebsite.edu/2002/student1) the only authentication which is successful is domain\administrator. If I try domain\student1 authentication fails.
The same setup on my ftp site allows successful authentication of domain\student1 through an ftp client.
NTFS is used to enforce security on the data.
Any suggestions on how to make Web Folders work the way I want? Am I trying to use Web Folders in a manner not supported?
TIA… -Henry
