I created a frontpage 2000 website in iis 5.0 (not the one in my signature line:)

Using ntfs permissions I set 'everyone' and 'iusr_machinename' to read,list,exec. I ran the permissions wizard and chose 'public' website permissions.

The problem is the entire world can author the website. Frontpage never asks for a password unless someone tries to administer the website it then loads IE and prompts for username/pw. This is not good. I've browsed through passed messages and although a few people have had the same problem, none of the solutions work or apply for me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You can't turn it off on a site to site basis. However there is a registry setting to disable webdav if you want NO webdav access at all. Using NTFS permissions is the only way to limit file access if you need it on.
