FrontPage Subweb permissions

I have FP 2000. I have created a subweb that I want accessible by a sign-in
page. The rest of the website is public and open to all, but I want THIS
section to be accessed by a certain customer and his employees.

The security section of the tools menu is grayed out so I can't set
permissions for the main web or the subweb. I publish the site to an outside
server via FTP. I have tried logging on to my computer as administrator with
no luck in un-graying the security.

I didn't know if there was another way to create a sign-in page that allows
certain folks to access the subweb. I am self-taught in FP so I don't know a
lot of the technical lingo. My main website is www.greensboropipe.com . I
want to have a link on that site to the subweb with a sign-in page that
connects them.

You can't set it from the local web. You must open your FrontPage web on
the remote server. However, if you're using FTP, not server extensions,
it's not going to be available.

Contact your host to see if they have a way for you to manage permissions.
If not, you'll need them to set the permissions/passwords for you.

Your web site is hosted on an Apache server.
Most Apache hosts provide you with a web masters CPanel ( control panel )
If so, there is a feature in the CPanel that will let you password protect a subweb. ( folder )

No it won't Rob
I use extensions and password protect folders using CPanel all the time.
I also Publish to the password protected folders using FP.

I don't think I can. If I go to the Protect Directories section, it warns me
to only use FP to set permissions on folders. If I create a new directory in
File Manager under www - there's no selection under the password column. Am
I in the wrong place or my host has this disabled?
