are you on linux server or windows server?

on linux/unix you can use .htaccess (note the fullstop leading the 'h').....put
the .htaccess and .htpasswd files in your root (www, htdocs,html directory) with
the list of uers and passwords and they can't get in without the proper
authorisation.

Bare in mind it only occurs once, and you have to close the browser to end the
session there is no "logout" routine as such. It is not the most secure form of
login, but it depends on what you're protecting and how private or public you
want to make it.

On Windows, there are plenty of ASP scripts (or whatever your host uses) around,
you just need to spend time searching.

> hello, another question is how can I create a login page for my site. I want to
password protect my entire site. When someone types my address they should be
pronpted for password also every other web page should also be protected but not
have to login on every page. I want to have a list of names in a database and use
that for my user logins. I dont need something that looks fancy just some friends
and myself want a site to share that might be offensive to others:) I would
appreciate being pointed in the right direction not real good with script at all
but can read articles and follow very well. Or if you just have general
suggestions or preferences from experience. Thanks for all your replies. Matthew
