In IIS right click the directory. Choose Properties. Uncheck the Browse box.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Hi

Sorry to be so dense but when I right click and seect the directory tab the box marked "directory browsing" is unchecked. Is this the box you meant?

thanks

Yes. Users should not be able to type

http://server/directory

and get a list of the files in that directory.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Hi

see what you mean and suspect I'm totaly on the wrong track because although I can't browse the directory I can download a file which is what I want to prevent.

Back to the drawing board

Use NT Authentication instead of anonymous and set NTFS permissions on the files.
