    Hello:

    I want to upload some secure web files (to
    my ISP), and I want to have password protec-
    tion for each web page and each image file,
    as well as all of my directories on the network.
    My ISP runs the Microsoft-IIS/4.0 web server,
    and I have telenet on my PC (my PC's OS is
    Windows 98)

    How can I go about acheiving this kind of
    security? Do I need to create a .htaccess
    file? How? Do I do basic web authenti-
    cation through my ISP? (I'm new to all
    of these processes and terms).

    Any help at all would be appreciated
    (since I'm a newbie with web servers
    in general !!)

    Highest Regards,

    Brian B
