There will be a file management tool and it should have a link to a GUI feature for password protecting folders. :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...
Seo Jon Posted November 4, 2005 Author Posted November 4, 2005 go into you webhosts cPanel. There will be a file management tool and it should have a link to a GUI feature for password protecting folders. My hosting company will not give information on password protection. They refer me over to the Apache site. And non of that makes sense. Is there some sort of code I can just copy and paste to make it work?

Is there some sort of code I can just copy and paste to make it work? if you have different hosts for database and files, yes the file's one must be used fro password protection. Don't you have a cPanel there? :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...
Seo Jon Posted November 4, 2005 Author Posted November 4, 2005 if you have different hosts for database and files, yes the file's one must be used fro password protection. Don't you have a cPanel there? The C panel is junk. It doesn't give you too many options to work with. I've been reading up on .htaccess So far I can get my admin to ask for a password, but when I put in my password, it don't work. Here's the code that I'm putting: AuthName "admin" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile admin/.htpasswd Require valid-use What's the deal?
