orangechicken Posted January 14, 2003 Posted January 14, 2003 If you go to your CPanel there should be an icon or link that says something like 'Password Protection'. The interface for the password protection is kinda weird and takes a little getting used to. Basically, you click the *icon* of the folder to navigate and the *name* of the folder to bring up it's protection options. First add a user (make sure you put both the name and the password - the interface for changing user passwords later is worse (at least in Mozilla, maybe it's different in IE?). Once you have entered a user you can enter a name for the 'Protected Resource' (i.e. My Subdomain Protection) and check the box 'Folder requires a password to access via http:/' That should do it for the protection. Oh, BTW the interface problems are not *****'s fault, it's the issue of CPanel's creators. HTH, Quote
