  Not serve certian folders/files Reply Contact Hello, I am deploying websites to a server with svn, and would like to know how on IIS 7 to set it to never serve any files within the .svn folders in the website directory.  This is very easy to do in other web servers, so I am sure that IIS has some easy setting to do the same but I just cannot find it. Thank You for any help you may give. George Franz

  Re: Not serve certian folders/files Reply Contact You can use Request Filtering for that: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/143/how-to-use-request-filtering/ I'm not familiar with svn, but if the name of the folders is literally ".svn" you can just drop a Web.config file in the site with the following contents: <configuration>   <system.webServer>         <security>             <requestFiltering>                 <hiddenSegments>                     <add segment=".svn" />                 </hiddenSegments>             </requestFiltering>         </security>   </system.webServer> </configuration> If you want you can optionally install the User Interface for managing Request Filtering rules at: http://www.iis.net/extensions/AdminPack
