Forms authentication -- which can be handled from within the web.config file --, applies only to ASP.NET files (.aspx etc.)! In order to protect non-ASP.NET files -- such as '.txt' files etc. --, on IIS 6, you have to register those file extensions and their related handler in IIS. You can do that from you control panel (Set Script Map). Then, you have to write some code (the handler) to detect access to those files and to take the appropriate actions such as blocking. Beginning with IIS 7, you can handle that stuff from within your 'web.config'. Note: Special ASP.NET folders (App_Code etc.) and files (.aspx etc.) are protected by design and there is no special need to protect them. I <3 WebHost4Life.com    Report
