password protected section on website

[Guest]

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

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.

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 ....
