Try this,

       <location path="[subdir1]">
            <system.web>
              <authorization>
                            <deny users ="?" />
                    <allow users ="*" />
              </authorization>
            </system.web>
       </location>

change the [subdir] to the folder you want to protect. For more info see Here
