Does anyone know if there is an equivalent to .htaccess and .htpassword for IIS ? I am being asked to migrate an app to IIS that uses .htaccess to control access to sets of files in various URLs based on the contents of .htaccess files.
I did a google search and didn't turn up anything conclusive. Is there a general approach or tool that I need to purchase that provides this capability ?

These configuration files (usually called . htaccess files) contain a number of settings that can be used for integrating the application with the capabilities of the Web server. IIS 7 and above uses a file called Web. config to hold settings for integration with applications.
htaccess rules won't work in a Windows server.

Or try aping .htaccess: http://www.helicontech.com/ape/

There isn't a direct 1:1 equivalent.
You can password protect a folder or file using file system permissions. If you are using ASP.Net you can also use some of its built in functions to protect various urls.
