Given that the asp pages are >visible to everyone, how difficult is it for someone to download the >actual asp code? (As opposed to the html that the page generates). As long as you don't have shares on the web server open to people to connect to and have removed sample applications on the server and run iislock down then you should be ok to stop them downloading the code. >Also, there is the option for installing the site on a clients server. >Is there any way to encrypt this so that the server can read it, but the >clients cannot? Only by putting ntfs security permissions on the clients server so only the webserver can access it, but the client would have to do it, and they could easily remove it by taking ownership....of course they'd need a logon and/or network connectivity to the box.....or physical access to the server, boot from a knoppix cd for example and then look at the web pages bypassing the permissions that way.
