Create Text Box for input

[Robbo]

I have developed a very basic web site using publisher, however I would like
to be able to add one extra feature that I am not sure is possible. Apart
from promoting my business I use the web site as a distribution point for
some files for one of my clients. Therefore I would like to create an
additional page just for this client only. To give access to this page I
would like to set up a couple of text boxes on my home page where the user
would need to type in a UserId and Password. I don't need anything fancy, all
I need is for the system to concatenate the userId and password together and
use that as a part of the hyperlink address for the page I want to open. If
they type in the wrong UserId and Password then the page cannot be found and
it would crash. Is this feasible/possible? If so how?

Go to your web host support section or FAQs and look for 'password
protected' directories or folders. Almost all web hosts will provide for
this. Once you figure out how to create your password protected folder, then
using a new Publisher file create the page or pages for your client along
with the links to any files you may want them to have, and upload to that
password protected folder. Then link to that folder from your main site.
Anyone wanting to access that section or page will have to have the
password.
