Poke around in the contribuitions. You'll find what you need 80% of the time.

 

I used 'Admin Account with Access Level' contribution for a clinet to protect admin (other than password protecting folders)

Works great and easy to install. Another may want to chime in as to how secure it is... but it keeps the unwanted from snooping though admin

 

Hope this helps,

The easiest way to protect your admin is to go to your hosting control panel and use the password protect directories function if one is available ( and it is in most cases) If not you can use a contribution or manually setup a .htaccess file.

 

To move your site up all you need to do is ftp all your files to the root of your domain and then change the path in your two configure.php files

 

includes/configure.php

admin/includes/configure.php
