A little setup of what I am trying to do…..with security settings, and if there is a way to share a web over a network and have security too?
I run a few small web sites on a win2000 Advanved server box, on a network with a few other computers, I want to share the wwwroot\ folder on the network so we can update pages.
Some how local settings take higher pri. over web, I set the web for read and run for IUSR_ (we have asp, and scripts that need to run) and by making that folder a share over the network then adding a local user, that’s when people cant see it from the out side? If I open up the local share to “Everyone” and “IUSR” it works but my security is out the window, When we were running Apache I could share the \hot\ folder set security tight and it would still let internet users see pages……
Second, I tried a work around, I created a shared folder on C:\updated\ that we drop updated web pages from the other computers on the network, then go over to the server and drag and drop to the site they go, But, when we try to Access the site with IE on the internet it asks for password? I guess that file keeping the security settings from the folder they were placed in?
I dont know if I have put across what I am trying to do and whats happening, it would be really nice to have one local user have access to a site across the network and still have people hit the site with out it asking for a password 🙂
