ASP Equivilant to .htaccess ?

Does ASP have a file whose function is similar to .htaccess on Apache? I'm
looking to protect subdirectory content.

No, it doesn't, at least not as far up to IIS 5. I don't know about IIS 6,
but I don't think that does either. Unfortunately, the ways of acheiving
the same results of .htaccess are much more server intensive than the way
..htaccess works. There are components you can use to mimic .htaccess
functionality, or you can stream your files back after verifying things
you'd like to verify, such as http_referer.

I recently ran up against this issue and came up with a pretty good
solution.

Here is what I did-

Created an account with the same username and password as the logged in
users userID (stored in a session)
The host I go through has ASPuser installed, so I used this to impersonate a
login based on the users userID (stored in a session) and then streamed the
file to them if it authenticated. This way it is impossible to link directly
to a file unless your userID matches the current session.

Does this sound fairly fool proof??

My knowledge of Apache and ASP.net are both limited, but does this help?

This KB article is named "HOW TO: Migrate .Htaccess Data in a
UNIX-to-Windows Migration", but it doesn't look useful to me. It only tells
you how to migrate the most basic of folder settings.

Greetings newsgroup, I am moving some php scripts to a new host. While getting to know the server, I ran into a strange problem. If I add a .htaccess file, or more specifically: a .htaccess with content, to a folder, requesting (html and php) files from that folder results in internal server error messages. If I upload an empty .htaccess file, all is fine. Then phpinfo() tells me I am using Apache/1.3.27.

I am trying to create a generic interface that will manage various ..htaccess protected directories. In the ideal world, the .htaccess would trigger a cgi script that would take login information and store it to a file, or block access all together. For example, anytime someone logs in, the .htaccess file should direct the user name and IP address to be stored in a log file through this cgi. A cron could be scheduled to determine if the...
