Password protected directories require
authentication using a username and password before
files from them can be downloaded via the web.
Protect A Directory
To protect a directory click 'New Password
Protected Directory'. A list of the directories in
your web site is shown. Select the directory you
wish to protect and click 'Set-up Password
Protection'. Note that you must create a directory
in your web space using FTP before you can protect
it.
Passwords
Click the corresponding 'Passwords' link to view a
list of users currently granted access to the
directory. To add a new user to the directory click
'Add User'. To change the password for an existing
user, click 'Change Password'. To delete a user
from the directory click 'Delete'.
Remove Protection
To remove password protection from a directory,
click the corresponding 'Remove' link. You will be
asked to confirm the action before protection is
removed. On confirmation of the action, protection
is removed from the directory and all user
privileges revoked.
Password protection is recursive meaning that
protecting a directory also protects any
directories within it. Password protection is not
available when FrontPage extensions are installed,
in this case you should use the password protection
facilities included with your FrontPage
software.
