Re: Password Protect a webpage

Sorry I've been unclear; we presently have a subfolder protected but the
files listed look like a DOS listing. I was looking for a way to list the
files with a description, sort of what could be done using a hyperlink.

Me thinks looking for a way to password a webpage should go to the "back
burner" and get on with other chores. :-)

Thanks for sharing thoughts.

Take care,

Don

Don,

I suspect that what you are describing with getting 10 MB of server space
with each email address is the allocated space...the mailbox for the
messages with that email address, not a website.

I don't understand the logic behind the use of the "page5.html", but
hey...I don't follow a lot of logic.

I still would think that your host like most would offer more than one
password protected subfolder on your main site, and given that you have
more than just a page to protect, I still think producing a new web
page/site with Publisher and uploading it and the files you want to
protect, to that protected subfolder is the most "logical" solution to
me...but then we have already talked about my logic. I am fairly sure you
understand what I am proposing, but in case you don't then read David
Bartosik's article about "Building a web site with multiple Publisher web
publication files":
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/16/81264.aspx

I also seem to remember someone suggesting that there are javascript
snippets that can password protect pages, but it seems they also said they
are easily worked around....you might google that subject.

So, sorry, but my best suggestion is to create the protected subfolder,
and produce a second Publisher site and link to it...good luck, and let us
know the solution you come up with.

David,

My ISP offers domains with 1000 MB of server space and 5000 email
addresses. Each email address can have its own personal web page with 10
MB of server space (not using any of the 1000 MB assigned to the domain).
I thought of creating "personal" webpage with one of the email addresses
BUT, I presently have 21 MB of files for download.

I asked the same question (password protect a webpage) to my ISP. They
provided me with a "give this a try" solution. Instead of having the
password protect a folder, try using the file name, i.e., page5.html. I
haven't tried it yet but plan to do some experimenting in a day or two.

The secret stuff adds some fun to website building. :-)

P.S. The files we want to safeguard are Member Directory updates, Lodge
Budgets, Forms, Lodge history, backup files listing passwords, email
passwords etc.
No atomic secrets. <G>

Hi Don,

Have you considered using a second Publisher document to create the page
that you want to protect, and then linking to it, and posting it in
another password protected folder?

We have a Publisher 2000 created six page website www.vanusa.org

Presently we have a link on the site to a password protected folder.

Is there a way to password protect one of the pagen.html pages?

If so, how?

The method used to protect the folder is with a htaccess and a htpasswd
files.
