What does it take to make a Web server a "secure server"?
I need to serve some images from my IIS6 server and they must be accessible
via https.
I have never set up a server to work with https.
How can I accomplish this? Where do I start?
Thanks

Its quite a simple process, detailed here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...re/iisslsc.htm
You need to purchase a certificate at some point, I recently used
Verisign:
http://www.verisign.com/products-ser...ssl/index.html
(There are other vendors out there).
Verigisn offer a trial certificate for free - Good if you want to have
a play:
http://www.verisign.com/products-ser...es/free-trial/
Once you've got the certificate installed, simply link to the content
which needs to transported via SSL by using HTTPS// instead of HTTP://
You may want to configure the server to ensure that the content is ONLY
accessible via SSL. I'm pretty sure this is possible, although I've
never tried it myself.
HTH! :-)

I have to connect with my Windows 2000 server using VS.NET 2003 and C# and

possible. I would query and insert locally only the newest records found in
that XML file to an xml or MS access db.
