    Deny anonymous access to the directory.

    well! my asp.net pages are in the same directory I want people to be able to see my aspx pages so I dont wanna mess with the directory permissions

    as for the file permissions, I denied anonymous access to it, but the problem was that asp.net couldnt access it that way
    so I guess it's not possible... I wanted asp.net to be able to access the TXT file but I didnt want the users to be able to access it

    You should be able to accomplish this using the web.config settings. Do a search for using a "location" setting. Basically it involves setting specific permissions to a path.

    Or simply use the .config extension for the file, because IIS will not serve these types of files for client requests.

    I dont remember too well but I read an article that said that the web.config fileo only protects aspx pages, so I dont think web.config would protect a txt file. Do what Lethal said and deny anonymous access but give the asp.net process access to it.

    I have never done it, but can't you just add the text file to its own folder, and add a web.config file in that folder denying access?

    That is what DevGrp is referring 2. He thinks it only works for aspx pages (i think i read this somewhere also)
