Password Protected Pages

[zoomzoom632]

I came up with another question.

Using SharePoint Designer 2007 or FrontPage 2003, can I create a page to
block access to my entire site unless the person attempting to access it
enters the correct user name.

I want someone to submit their name so I can allow or not allow them access
to the page.

Can this be done, if so, how?

Thanks

You can ask you web host to set a password on your entire site, but you would be better off placing
this content into a folder within your web and protecting that folder, again check with your web
host on how to do this.

Here's the example:

My homepage is in folder "A". The pages I want blocked are all in folder
"A.1" which is inside folder "A".

From my homepage, I want to go to a page where the person has to type in
their current user name or create a user name which can't be used until I
approve it. After entering the correct user name it will allow the user to
access all of the files in folder "A.1" (as a webpage).

I will be saving all of the files on the hard drive my college provides.

I hope you can still help, thanks.

Hi
You might be better finding a third party "members script" it will probably
use asp or php so make sure the script you use is supported by your server

How do you access this folder as a website, via http://foldername or http://servername/folder or ??

You need to speak with your server admin to see if you can use unique FP subwebs/sites.

Alright, not let's say that I am saving all of the files to the hard drive of
my computer. Say I want to leave the "web page" in folders on the desktop
(as below) and I want to allow certain users to view the files from the main
page.

I hope this makes sense.

You would be able to do this via network share (Windows Explorer/My Computer), but I don't think you
will be able to do this via web browser, however I suggest you post this question to the Windows
newsgroup.

Mr. Rowe,

Thank you for all of you help, and I no this has nothing to do with MS
Frontpage but where is the Windows Newsgroup?

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Should be on the same server/service you are using to access this newsgroup.
