Web Server Directory Security

Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC

With all of the bored hackers out there, you should be sure that your web site has some basic security features set. The first place to start is on the directories that hold your web pages. Here are the guidelines from Microsoft on how to secure your directories: For users to run your ASP applications, you must use the following rules when setting Web server permissions: Enable the Read or Script permissions for virtual directories containing .asp files. Enable Read and Script permissions for virtual directories containing both .asp and other files, such as .html files, that contain scripts. Enable Read and Execute permissions for virtual directories containing both .asp and other executable files, such as .exe and .dll files, which require the Execute permission to run.
