Anonymous read-only access

[siatro]

This is such a newbie question I apologise for its simplicity. Nevertheless, all i want to do is to have read-only anon access to my default page which will link into other parts of my web site which may or may not have passwords. I cant seem to find an easy way to do this and i looked in the Help and the Tutorials. i am sure i have missed something.

Appreciate any help provided,
Steve

A webserver is only able to serve read only pages. Only a copy of the file is sent to the web browser, the original is kept on the websever, so a visitor is unable to alter your pages.

As long as you're serving regular HTML-pages without any serverside code, you should be fine since there is no way for a visitor to change any content on your server.

A page can only be modified if you have some sort of serverside script that allows a visitor to modify the pages content.

Sorry all, i am aware that the server will by default serve pages in read-only mode but I should have been clearer: my core question is how do enable anonymous access. As far as I can see, i can create virtual paths and then allocate explicit use or group access. How can i allow anyone access to the site without providing credentials?

Thanks again

You dont. Its already anon access unless you tell it otherwise.
