i want to use the forms authentication for the folder in virtual folder
"admin/" but i don't know how to config the web.config. once i turn on
authentication mode to "Forms", all files will need authenticate, which is
not what i want. anyone can help?

You can control which files need authentication with the
<authorization> section of web.config. Allow access to the anonymous
users (<allow users="?"/>) and only deny anonymous users in the admin
area.

See:
