This
is easier to set up than you think! Within your control panel, click
on the link and/or icon that says 'Password Protect Directories'.
You'll
soon see the folder structure of your current web site (you will only
see folders, no files). This will be displayed with several folder icons
(pictures of a folder) along with the name of the folder (displayed
to the right of the folder icon). THESE
ARE TWO SEPERATE LINKS (icon and name).
First you
will need to navigate to the folder you wish to password protect. If
your folder is located within a folder, simply click on the folder ICON
to help you navigate in and out of folders.
Once you
have decided on a folder, then click on the TITLE of the folder (NOT
the folder icon) and a properties menu will appear on a new page.
Configure
the properties in this menu by checking the checkbox (to activate or
uncheck to de-activate). CAUTION: THIS
WILL LOCK ALL FILES AND FOLDERS WITHIN
THIS DIRECTORY. You would then choose a name for this
locked page (this will appear as the title of the password prompt your
users will see; ex: "This page is for staff only!"). Once
complete, click on SAVE and the lock will be activated.
Finally,
you will need to establish which users you wish to have access to this
directory, and then you're all set! No sweat! And as always,
if you have any problems with this, if you have ANY problems with this,
