ScottCC Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 there is no place where you can set file/directory permissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramlion Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 there is no place where you can set file/directory permissions? OK, but obviously OSsites are password protected for their admin, so how do they do it. Sorry if I'm asking the obvoius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottCC Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 i just used .htaccess for this an example .htaccess file ************************************************** AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthUserFile "/home/website/.htpasswds/store/admin/passwd" require valid-user *************************************************** I used the "set file/directory permissions" link on cpanel but you can manually set all this .htaccess stuff.

ramlion Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks for that, in light of this I think I will transfer site back to a linux server where the htaccess file is relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Thanks for that, in light of this I think I will transfer site back to a linux server where the htaccess file is relevant. if you log into your server control panel, there is usually a place there on the file manager where you can password protect a directory and its subdirectories. This is actually a better way than the .htaccess method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramlion Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 thought it may have been wamp server yea, I thought of removeing access on the Admi folder itself, but as I am setting this up for someone else as well I want them to get access to Administration (by password) but not to the server directory structure. Os appears to be a great program but it is more than a little fiddly to get around if you are using it for the first time. I have used your script but it where do I tell it the user name and password. do I use something like, AuthName onlyme AuthPasswrd **** do you now how and in what form???
