But, if I create a new user that will be able to access the server through terminal service, isn't it? How to avoid that ?

the only users that will be able to access that folder will be the ones that you put in the security tab. <br />
<br />
Is that what you are asking?

No, I understood what you said, but I'm afraid the user I'll create will be able to access the whole server (not the directory) with terminal service program.

How are your other permissions setup? Is everything else in a group? If so do not add the new user to any groups.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have to protect a directory on the server with login and password. A automated system will download some file I'll put inside through http giving login and password.<br />
<br />
I guess I have to do this:<br />
1) create a new user in USER section.<br />
2) Right clic on the dir I want to protect and assign read-control only to that user.<br />
3) Leave blank all permission for user &quot;everyone&quot;.<br />
<br />
I don't want that the user can access my server through terminal service in any way.<br />
<br />
Is the procedure correct ?<br />

Hi,

2) Right clic on the dir I want to protect and assign read-control only to that user.
3) Leave blank all permission for user "everyone".

I don't want that the user can access my server through terminal service in any way.

Is the procedure correct ?



Protect a directory with login and password

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
