Re: [H] Secure web page
From the site... In order to password protect documents using IIS, you have to actually create accounts on the NT machine. You then assign permissions to the various documents so that those users have permission to read those documents. While this sounds simple enough, keep in mind that this means that user accounts and passwords are being passed across the Internet in plain text. This presumes you DON'T have an https connection first. If you don't, shame on you. On 10/8/06, Ben Ruset [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It all depends on what the web server is.

No different than apache .htaccess files as well. G.Waleed Kavalec wrote: From the site... In order to password protect documents using IIS, you have to actually create accounts on the NT machine.

RE: [H] Secure web page
What kinda information are you trying to put up? Maybe there is a alternate solution. Also by secure how secure do you want to be? As secure as ftp? i.e. plaintext passwords? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 12:05 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Secure web page I want to put up a web page, of an excel file, on my site that is log on only, and is secure.

RE: [H] Secure web page
But just because it opens up in my browser window doesn't mean the file is not on my hard drive. But since your using another method to encrypt the file you should be ok. I mean its not full proof by any means and someone that wants that info will get it but if you're just trying to avoid the casual snooper you should be ok. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Winterlight Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 7:30 AM To: The Hardware List Subject: RE: [H] Secure web page At 06:59 AM 10/9/2006, you wrote: What kinda information are you trying to put up?

RE: [H] Secure web page
Just a thought. Are you trying to check your work from an acct/pw other than yourself? By rights you have admin access and should SEE no additional access quiz. And, I suspect, as admin you would not SEE anything work as you wish. But, that is JMHO. I'd try somebody else's desktop who you have given appropriate rights to you file.

Re: [H] Secure web page
Does godaddy have a control panel that would allow you to set that up? Frontpage is generally not the optimal tool for interfacing with Linux based webservers.
