Thread: HOW TO create a password access only page?

Hi there

I’m trying to create a part of my website only for myself and my partner to acess. I need to create a password protected page; how can I make this?

If I would know the URL of the pages inside this folder, and would write it, would it be possible to access those or they would always require password?

Hope someone can give me a hand with this.

You can use a password protected directory (created in cpanel)
Any time you try to access a file inside of that directory you need to have logged in. (You login once and all the files in the directory become available, not a login for each file).

If you only want one file to be password protected I can help you from there, but I don't want to go through the trouble of posting instructions if that isn't what you want

I created a file folder in my public_html, then went to Cpanel to password protect it, but the file folder I created was not there. The folders that show are the ones if I back up 1 step in my public_html. So I created another file folder, protected it, but now my question is how to I upload files to it if it is "behind" or "up" from public_html?

Is there any way that I could create one for my members without paying 4 anything?

If you are saying it is behind public_html. That is if the path closest to the root is "/", and public_html is located at "/public_html", and you created is located at "/somefolder" then it won't be accessible to your users, so uploading to it is irrelevant.

If you did make it in a location like "public_html/folder_name", then that is the path you publish to, or that you would upload to with a FTP.

Your website files have to be infront of public_html, if it is in the same directory public_html is located it can't be accessed with a browser

Yeah, you can go into cPanel and manually add your users in the password protected directory area.

The script I offer just allows you to make a page on your website that creates the account, so your users can do it instead of you having to do it for them.
