Hi Rejetto,
Salute! Thank you for your prompt reply. I neglected to say in my post what a great program this is, sorry. It appears that I am doing it the way you suggest in your reply.
The way I added the Guest account is this: I go into Menu, "Other program options" and then "users". Then I create the Guest account with user name and password. I then click "apply". No problem there.
I don't add "Guest" to the root folder (/) because as I said, I don't want them to have access to the entire VFS directory. My other two users have full access. I don't need to restrict access to the root folder for Guest because the other two users are the only ones with access to it. Maybe that's the problem? Maybe I should right-click on the root folder,go to restrict access, and check the Guest account? I'll try that.
Then I go to the folders I want Guest to have access to (example: folder 1, 2, etc). I right-click and go to "restrict access". I then put a check mark next to Guest or I click "All". When I do a mouse over, the yellow "lock" icon appears and it says "access for: user1, user2, Guest". I then click "save options" to file and then "save file system".
When I try and sign in under the Guest account, I enter the name "Guest" and password and click "OK". Nothing happens: the password disappears, and the "Enter Network Password" box remains. If I enter it three times, I get the "Unauthorized" page and the message: "This is a protected resource.
Your username/password doesn't match. HttpFileServer 2.0b

Thank you for your time...
