Remote access to webserver w/website modifications

I have a single 2003 Server hosting web sites. Most are my own, several
belong to others. I have successfully been able to edit/modify website
content over internet connections from other locations using Front Page 2003.
I have tried to enable certain users the ability to access their sites,
unsuccessfully. I have edited NTFS permissions for those users and I have
added permissions on the IIs server and still have not been able to give
those needed, access to the web site so that they can edit and modify. I also
have a webdav folder pointed to an existing folder onthe server. I cannot
upload content remotely (this may be a clue) even though I am an
administrator.
Can someone point me inthe right direction, I have scoured many pages of
security settings for the correct answer and there seems not to be a concise
way to achieve what I want.......

Re: Remote access to webserver w/website modifications

First you need to decide how you are going to allow the remote users to edit
content.
Some options include:
a) WebDAV
b) Frontpage Server Extensions (FPSE)
c) FTP

Once you have decided what method you wish your end users to do, we can help
you with instructions on how to set it up.

Roger that,

We will use FPSE as the first option.
Extensions are extended on all the web sites hosted.
Allow clients to modify thier web pages are the 1st priority.
Please proceed?

Re: Remote access to webserver w/website modifications

What version of FPSE did you install?

If you installed the version that came with Windows 2003 / IIS 6.0, then you
should see a Sharepoint Administration Website link in your Admin tools
folder.

Within that website, you should be able to see the security properties for
each extended website. You need to grant authoring permissions to either
Window user accounts, or Sharepoint only accounts to the relevant website or
subweb.

Cheers
Ken

Re: Remote access to webserver w/website modifications

Ok, I'm there. Within the admin window it seems there are a couple of
different versions extended. 5.0.2.6790 and on my site, 5.0.2.6738. I have
scrolled into the "reset password" area to set password rights on a
particular site. Everything is pretty cut and dry but I have a question: It
asks for the website location. Is this the local file or the actual website
as in www.yourwebsite.com?

Re: Remote access to webserver w/website modifications

Here is the story:
I had created a user on the local machine. I gave authoring rights locally
on the site. This does not give remote authoring rights extranet (funny how
that makes sense). I tried to add a user for that specific site from
Sharepoint admin services. Same user ID and pswd. Would not accept stating
that the user already had an account. At that point I created a slightly
different user ID in Sharepoint admin and successfully accessed the site
(extranet) and was able to modify. I'm a bit confused why the locally created
user did not have right extranet but I can see the reasoning. This portion of
problem is solved and thank you Ken Schaefer! I will post another inquiry
regarding accessing WebDAV folder within my own site.
