How do I password protect a single file?

[Guest]

Good day,

 

I've managed to password protect the admin folder, but am having difficulties protecting the configure.php file. It would appear that I can only protect certain folders, but not single files - I'm using one.com as my server.

 

Does anyone know how I can do this manually? Perhaps by editing the .htaccess and .htpasswd files?

 

I'm totally new to this, so I really have no idea what to do :blush:

No, you can password protect a file. You can change its permissions to read only or add code to it that will require a login to view it though. What is the reason for wanting to do this? That might help in finding the best solution.

Hello Jack! I think you can advise me on this:

I have developed some javascript's which I need to protect from theft.

Yet, my customers of course need to try before buy.

 

The scripts are stored in a folder catalog/comscripts

 

How do I prevent any visitors to just type in the url in the browsers adress field and thereby steal my work?

 

I have so far prevented right click (which I dont like) and a php script which disable caching.

 

Please advice me

 

Many thanks in advance

Make an index.php file with the content below:

 

<?php
header("Location: http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/index.php");
?>

(Change the URL to match your domain name)

 

Then put it in your /catalog/comscripts folder.

 

It will prevent "snooping".

 

Anyone just going to http://yourdomain.com/catalog/comscripts will get redirected to your catalog.

;)

 

I'm sure there are other ways.

 

This is just one.
