password a page?

[Guest]

I would like to put a form on my site that is only visible and usable by my client. My thought is to creat a new page and require a password to access it, then put the form there. Is there a way to restrict a single page?

if you're using ASP, www.hotscripts.com might have a password protection script
(uses an Access database) that might suit you - or else create a sub-web
I(although I've never used them.....).

It is not an ASP host. Any other ideas?

If the remote server has the FP extensions, then check with your host to see if you can create a
subweb with unique permissions.

I found a different way to solve the problem. I created a page in the web that was not "part of the web" then I put the form on that page and directed my client to that page to submit the information. http://villagewalksarasotarealty.com/new-listing.htm The results are sent to my email -- Since this is not a "secure" information issue I think this will work fine.

Not exactly secure..

Maybe it's time to move to different host? Most good host
support many plateforms.

OK, if you are allowed any scripting languages at all...CGI/Perl, PHP etc - these
would work; otherwise try htaccess on unix/linux servers you can password protect
directories, all you need to do is place the file you want to protect inside the
protected directory.....but it only works 'once' i.e. you give the logon details
and from then on you can reaccess that folder - closing the browser is the only
way to log off.
