OK heres the deal, In the school we will be teaching web design soon using FrontPage and there is a need for the kids to be able to publish there work so others can view it across the network.

What I'm after is some advise or resources on setting up IIS for this kind of scenario as ideally each child that needs to publish their pages would have their own directory within the web root that only they can publish to but the other kids can view.

Thanks in advance.

you could configure the site with integrated authentication, have a separate folder for each child with permissions set to allow everybody to see but only them to update. One gotcha with integrated authentication is to make sure that the browsers are configured to bypass the proxy for that site or it may not work.

 

That sounds like the ticket, do you know of any good resources to help me implement this?

 

which bits do you need help with Si? Just the authentication side or the whole lot?

 

All of it Phil, I've only ever installed IIS and setup the default site for a basic website.

 

Just read this, makes sense.

 

I'm back at work tomorrow so will no doubt be looking at this, if you have any help on this AJ I would be most grateful. Thanks

 

NP mate, I've sorted out a quick fire solution for now but will revisit this when I get more time.
