Can anyone advise me how I can create private areas of a

website accessible (say) by password only? My wehsoting

company says thaey need to set up a password protectd

directory but I can no longer use frontpage to publish,

must use FTP. I do not understand how to intergrate the

two .

I use fuitadnet as my host. They let you set up your own

folders and they have a web admin program (c-panel) which

allows you to crete your own password protected folders --

under which can contain passwoed only pages. Check it

out. when you link to a page under the PW protected

folder a login screen pops up, then if passed pushes you

to the page. You set up the usernames & PWs. Its great

and CHEAP

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">support.microsoft.com/default.aspx=kb;en-us;825451

Your host will have to support subwebs and unique permissions under the FP Server Extensions

This great provided you have a group of pages that you wish to protect and

that there is only one userid and password shared amongst the members. The

problem occurs when you change the password which you'll need to at some

point, then how do you notify everyone that has been given the userid an

password? The logistic can get out of hand real quick.

Actually you can make as amany username/PW logins as you

like for each folder. You don't need just one

username/PW per folder. With the utility if a bonehead

forgets their PW (which they usually do) you can look it

up. Also you cna then use that username/PW on a

different folder, in a sense making levels, allowed to

access different folders.

Thanks Stefan! This is just what I needed!

But again this places a burden on the webmaster to maintain the userid and

password.



It sounds like a neat system for a small < 25 users but if you plan to go

beyond that or use any type of dynamic subscriptions ....
