Home directory configuration for the site

Open the site properties page. By default, the Home Folder tab is selected.

Home directory location

Select the Folder in your Hosting Space option. By default, this folder is the wwwroot sub-folder inside a directory named after the domain (in Shared Hosting plans this path cannot currently be changed).
Select the Redirection to URL option to redirect all client requests (e.g., from a browser) to another website or virtual directory whose address you enter below.

Security settings

Enable Enable Write Permissions to allow site users to upload files and images to a folder on the server. Write permissions work only if the browser supports the HTTP 1.1 PUT command.
Enable Enable Directory Browsing to let visitors view the list of files contained in the directory and its subdirectories.
Enable Enable Parent Paths to allow pages to use relative paths that traverse above the web application’s home directory (using “..” in the path). This option may be required for some ASP applications.

Authentication

Enable Allow Anonymous Access to permit anonymous HTTP-level connections to this site. This option is enabled for the vast majority of sites.
Enable Enable Basic Authentication to require users to authenticate. Basic Authentication is part of HTTP and is supported by most browsers. However, the username and password are not encrypted during transmission, so enabling this option is risky and generally discouraged. It should remain disabled for most sites.

Default documents

The Default documents option tells the web server which files should be treated as default in a given directory.
