 Re: Linking file in password protected directory | |
Once you properly title and format your files, you will need to upload them (via the Upload feature within cP) to that Password Protected Directory, as they need to be within the same Directory as the link was published to if to have access to it.
In other words, your link will look like this (note the missing characters to "down" the link so you can see it) > www njcations.com/seminarfiles/whateverfiles.wmv .... and this indicates you have previously uploaded the file to the /seminarfile/ directory.
If you have not created a Password Protected Directory using the Icon in your cPanel, then you have been wasting your time, as the auto-creation feature will configure it for you.
Although it is possible to "protect" a previously established directory, but I can tell you have not done so. Soooooo....
Make sure you have copies of all your files, and simply delete the "directory" you have established, and then re-create it using the Pasword Protect icon in your cPanel. Then, simply re-publish/load files back to the properly created directory as normal.
