Hello,
Is there a way to block access via internet to the system folder while maintaining access from inside the network where the hosting server is? I’m using EE 1.6.8
Thank you!

Piloto,
Welcome to the forums 😊
The tools available within EE are for restricting IPs.
You could however create a .htaccess file inside your system folder and add your network IPs
Something like
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 100.100.100.100
Does that help?

My understanding is that .htaccess files do not work in IIS. Is that correct? If so, is there any other alternative for this issue on EE/IIS?
Thanks again.

Hi Piloto,
I’m afraid that I have no experience with IIS though I found this reference document. Does that help?
Cheers
Greg
