If your FrontPage-based Web site server is on a network, you'll probably want to use the Explorer Tools menu's Permissions... command to establish passwords that protect your Web sites from intruders. However, you may not be aware that the permissions you set in FrontPage can be easily sidestepped by anyone who knows the network path to your Web site documents (and they aren't hard to find).

An intruder can simply use the Other Location tab in the Editor's Open File dialog box to navigate to and access an HTML page without ever opening a FrontPage-based Web site. Therefore, it's imperative that you ask your system administrator to set up substantial network password protection for your Web site resources.
