iis security : Remote access to webserver w/website modifications
I have a single 2003 Server hosting web sites. Most are my own, several
belong to others. I have successfully been able to edit/modify website content over internet connections from other locations using Front Page 2003. I have tried to enable certain users the ability to access their sites, unsuccessfully. I have edited NTFS permissions for those users and I have added permissions on the IIs server and still have not been able to give those needed, access to the web site so that they can edit and modify. I also have a webdav folder pointed to an existing folder onthe server. I cannot upload content remotely (this may be a clue) even though I am an administrator. Can someone point me inthe right direction, I have scoured many pages of security settings for the correct answer and there seems not to be a concise way to achieve what I want.......
Roger that,
We will use FPSE as the first option. Extensions are extended on all the web sites hosted. Allow clients to modify thier web pages are the 1st priority. Please proceed? [quoted text, click to view] "Ken Schaefer" wrote:

Ok, I'm there. Within the admin window it seems there are a couple of
different versions extended. 5.0.2.6790 and on my site, 5.0.2.6738. I have scrolled into the "reset password" area to set password rights on a particular site. Everything is pretty cut and dry but I have a question: It asks for the website location. Is this the local file or the actual website as in www.yourwebsite.com?

Here is the story:
I had created a user on the local machine. I gave authoring rights locally on the site. This does not give remote authoring rights extranet (funny how that makes sense). I tried to add a user for that specific site from Sharepoint admin services. Same user ID and pswd. Would not accept stating that the user already had an account. At that point I created a slightly different user ID in Sharepoint admin and successfully accessed the site (extranet) and was able to modify. I'm a bit confused why the locally created user did not have right extranet but I can see the reasoning. This portion of problem is solved and thank you Ken Schaefer! I will post another inquiry regarding accessing WebDAV folder within my own site. [quoted text, click to view] "rpittman@technologist.com" wrote:

First you need to decide how you are going to allow the remote users to edit
content. Some options include: a) WebDAV b) Frontpage Server Extensions (FPSE) c) FTP Once you have decided what method you wish your end users to do, we can help you with instructions on how to set it up.

What version of FPSE did you install?
If you installed the version that came with Windows 2003 / IIS 6.0, then you should see a Sharepoint Administration Website link in your Admin tools folder. Within that website, you should be able to see the security properties for each extended website. You need to grant authoring permissions to either Window user accounts, or Sharepoint only accounts to the relevant website or subweb.
