Oscommerce does not include any password/authentication/login protection for the admin section. You must set this up yourself.

Not sure how you do this on a local setup on your computer. But it's easily done on your webhosting site using your cpanel look for the feature to password protect directories.

 

From the OSC KB

http://www.oscommerce.info/kb/osCommerce/I...nd_Upgrades/224

 

The store admin directory on your server needs to be password protected using .htaccess. Most of the time the server you are hosting your store on has the ability to password protect directories through the server administration area so check with your host.

Yes thats right the only way to protect your folder is through your webhosting facility, its not that difficult I think allmost every hosting provider such as www.dymoon.com dymoon host (i'm currently hosting with them)

provides such facilities.

There are a couple of contributions that will help you as well. Search there. Also, search the forums, as there are a bunch of threads that explain using .htaccess files to protect the directory.

After my prev post on this, I figured I would finally try this on my existing testing website. Found these much easier tutorials via google...
