    Hi all, Please i Just Developed a simple web Application which will run on the LOCALHOST.

    I put the Project Folder in C:/inetpub/wwwroot/webAPP.

    Please all i need now is how to secure the Web Application,so that the Folder cannot be accessed.

    Is there a way i can Encrypt that Folder?

    Please any Help is Much appreciated.Thanks

    Are we talking about securing the web application from anonymous logins? For that have a look into FormsAuthentication and this will allow you to set up roles to restrict access over HTTP.

    If you are talking about actual physical access to the iinetpub folder, then the normal thing to do is to set up specific user accounts that can log onto that machine only to restrict unauthorised physical/terminal access.
