ADMIN PASSWORD PROTECT
Please reply to a newbie....

I just need to know how to password protect my 'admin' directory.

I just got links and am in the process of installing it.

Thank you very much in advance,

Poulette.

All the gurues must be on Thanksgiving holiday. Sorry to see no one has responded to your question for 3 days.

I will be having the same question as soon as I get that far along, so I will be watching this tread.

Hopefully we will both get a response.

Yes, you can do this or have your host do it for you. What you need is anonymous permissions (IUSR_machine) removed from the directory. That way you are prompted for a login when you access anything within that directory. You should be able to do this via your host's web control panel or have them do it for you. If you can't do it.. you could always switch to another host...

Send me mail if you need more help.
