Using the Hosting Control Center, you can create, edit, and customize the user permissions for directories and subdirectories on your Web site.

To Create a Custom Directory on Your Windows Hosting Account

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, select Hosting.
  3. Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Manage Account.
  4. In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the IIS Settings icon.
  5. To set up a new directory, click Create New Directory, and then enter the directory name.
  6. Click Permissions and select the directory permissions.
  7. Click Ok.

NOTE TO FRONTPAGE USERS: Microsoft FrontPage manages all of the directory and subdirectory permissions on your Web site. If you created custom directories on your Web site, or you are using another tool to build and or manage your Web site, switching to FrontPage may cause some problems. It can overwrite all of your directory permissions and make your site unusable.
