file password ( not directory)

Akcrock · #1 07-09-2009, 04:50 AM

Is there a way to put a password on a specific file (probably pdf). I know you can on directory in CP. I have been asked to add telephone list of homeowners to our site. I haven't see anything in the tutorials.

Thanks

Only directories can be password protected. Still, that should not be a problem. Create a directory (telephone_list) add a new index page for that directory/folder. The index page will have phone numbers.
Link would look like: thewoodsatsummerford.com/telephone_list

Make sure that the new index page is in a seperate folder in your BV files so it doesn't overwrite the index/home page for the main site.

Or....create the new directory (telephone) and add a page (i.e.) list.pdf
Then the link to that page which is in a password protected directory would be:
thewoodatsummerford.com/telephone/list.pdf

I have purposely deleted portions of the URL to prevent them from being an active link

Thanks Carbon Terry, I thought a new directory might work and had created one to try, but didn't get finished last night! I really appreciate your answering my ?.

Thanks again ,
