I am using MS Internet Information Services so I can easly swap files with a friend and it is free with XP Pro. I looked for a long time in the help files and could not find out how to put a password on it. Can a password be put on it? All the help files keep referring to FrontPage, I am not running that and have no plans to in the near future, so this has me lost. Do I need to run Front Page to get passwords?

Thanks.

As in so many cases, a simple search (IIS password) on the internet, using Google, gives you chapter and verse.
