Next question - password protection

« on: February 19, 2003, 07:02:00 AM »

My site is up and working now (thanks for the tips). However, I would like to have part of it for public consumption and a private section for personal use.

However, when I went to the Web Protection section of the CPanel, the only folders were CGI-bin and Current Folder. Clicking on either of them simply moved the order around.

How do I protect a section of the site. Ideally, I'd like an entry page to which you need a password, then for the person to be able to navigate around in that section without adding the password again for every page.

TIA

Steve

You can't protect individual files really.

What you need to do is make a new folder, then put all the files you want to protect inside it.

There is a special bit on CPanel for protecting files, you just browse to the folder you need, then set up a password.

If you have any problems, please let me/us know.

I must be getting the hang of this, or else I'm a lucky kludge. I set up a subdomain, made a new site for that and used Web Protect to protect the subdomain directory.

Seems to work, or will I be in for a nasty surprise later?
