    Hello,

    I have a wordpress site running on a windows server. I would like to password protect a folder so that only one particular user defined in this server (all users in server also should be fine) alone should be able to see the pages within the folder. It should not be available for public.I tried deny to anonymous using authentication/autherization from IIS settings. Also tried putting a web.config in the folder with the following content .
    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <configuration>
    <system.webServer>
    <security>
    <authorization>
    <add accessType=”Deny” users=”?” />
    </authorization>
    </security>
    </system.webServer>
    </configuration>

    But none of the above methods seems working. Please suggest.

    Thanks!
