Thread: here is my next challenge

i am wanting one page in ste to be password protected and only those i tell to have access.....

so this is where i am at......

i have created a new folder in blueftp, have passworded that folder in control panel, have published the page to new folder.......now i am stuck, i can not open or link to this folder

do i, need to change permissions maybe?
or do i, need to somehow move that file into public_html?
or do i, give up cause i can not do it?

can anyone help me?

can anyone help me with this onethe only way i can see to make it work is getting another domain? cause i can only password protect the whole site.

so if i get another site going i can password protect that and link to it?

is this correct?

my site is www.surfselectsave.com

client id 19000

Hi, have you followed the tutorials at this link & put in a user name & password.?

thanks for reply,

i have followed that tutorial and it all worked ok, up to the end

what i dont get, is how now does that folder move into my site, i cant find it to create the link from my index page to the published pages contained in the new folder.

i need to know the steps after that tutorial please.

Hi,
You 1st create a folder (also called a directory) Lets say you called this folder “acejase-private”
You then a follow the instructions on making this folder password protected as per video.
You then publish any pages you want to be protected into this folder.
IE: Publish your pages to public_html/acejase-private/
Onece published to this folder, the only way to see these pages is via the password page that will pop up.

ohhh ok, i try that,

i was publishing to, the acejase-private, not the public_html

thankyou so much collector-info

i got it to work now

i could only see how to lock main directories, but i had to do an extra step.
i had to click "backto-----" down the bottom of password protect screen to pull up the sub directory

thankyou again, very very much appeciated

sorry another quickie, can i not put a form in a password protected directory, i keep getting "post not allowed for url ...."

i got it, no need to reply this post, i just didnt save thankyou page to locked directory

thanks again for help
