I run a web site on a dedicated web server and am trying to solve a problem with a program I have installed. It is in mysite\databases folder and the problem is there is an Access database which can be downloaded if you go to the URL of the database such as entering: http:\\www.mysite.com\databases\teadmin.mdb What would I need to set for permissions for this so it cannot be downloaded. The program information lists the following: Make sure you are storing your database files somewhere secure on your web server. If you dont host your site yourself, contact your hosting company to change the permissions on your database folder. It should be readable/modifiable by ASP, but not accesible by the visitors. If you're using Windows XP, you may need to use CACLS tool to grant write permission to your database files. Can anyone give me some help on what the permissions should be. Here are the current permissons on the folder: Here are the permissions on the folder: Users(HOSTIRIANWEB18\users) Read & Execute List folder contents read write Mysite.com(HOSTIRIANWEB18\mysite) Full Control modify read & execute List Folder contents read write Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
