How to password protect non .mac web site

does anyone have step-by-step directions on how to make my web page password protected on a non .mac web space?
for example, http://www.yoursite.net/~userid
My internet service provider does not support web page creation, they just provide the space.
The only thing they said was the path to my directory is /rmgrazi/public_html/ and I should create my index.html file inside the public folder. I've tried creating and uploading a .htaccess file in the public folder, and then putting a .htpasswd file in my root directory /rmgrazi/
This doesn't seem to work. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your help -- I'm not an expert by any means -- this is my first website... just wanting to put up a family website to share with friends & people I know.
OK, the url is http://www.hickorytech.net/~rmgrazi/
Right now I just have a blank page up that says "test website"
My .htaccess file is located in /rmgrazi/public_html/ (yes, I put it inside the public folder in order to password protect my whole site).
By the way I'm using TextEdit in OS X, so when I upload the original file with Fetch, it looks like htaccess.txt -- after it's uploaded (as text, not binary of course) then I simply change the name to .htaccess
My .htaccess file includes the following:
AuthUserFile /rmgrazi/.htpasswd
AuthName Members Area
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
Then I uploaded the .htpasswd one level up to /rmgrazi/ like it says in .htaccess.
The text in this file is just one line with my username:password (the password is written in code). I found a website that does this automatically. Then I just cut & paste it in apple+v
I tried using the Terminal application in OS X panther to see if the server path needs to be longer -- I logged into my ftp.hickorytech.net and entered "pwd" -- that command is supposed to show the server path. /rmgrazi/public_html/ are the only folders I can see. "/" is as far back as it will show.
In Fetch I can change the permissions for .htaccess and .htpasswd by clicking Get Info -- I tried all different combinations, 644, 711, etc... Maybe my permissions are set wrong?

Password protect non .mac iweb site?

I publish to a non .mac server (ie, I do not use .mac). I would like to password protect a subsite within my existing iweb site (the main site is public and the subsite is for members only) I know that the password protect feature in iweb is meant for .mac accounts but is there a way for me to work around that and password protect my subsite?

You would have to check with your host. For example, GoDaddy handles it this way:

Password Protect an iWeb Web Site

Hello,
Is there a way to password protect an iWeb website? I am not using mobile me, I use 1&1.
I need to password protect a page on my website.
Can anyone help?

_*Easy Way to Password Protect your Iweb site in 5 Minutes - For FTP Users.*_
1. Visit your website and copy the URL of the first page - Example; the URL for Google Images is: http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&tab=wi&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q
2. Create a blank page in Iweb
3. Using the inspector (unclick both “include page in navigation menu and display navigation menu”) of the blank page.
4. Make the blank page the first page of the site.
5. Delete all text boxes on the blank page.
6. Copy and paste the following to a html snippet in the middle of the blank page;
<SCRIPT>
function passWord() {
var testV = 1;
var pass1 = prompt('Please Enter Your Password',' ');
while (testV < 3) {
if (!pass1)
history.go(-1);
if (pass1.toLowerCase() == "dog") {
alert('You Got it Right!');
window.open('protectpage.html');
break;
testV+=1;
var pass1 =
prompt('Access Denied - Password Incorrect, Please Try Again.','Password');
if (pass1.toLowerCase()!="password" & testV ==3)
history.go(-1);
return " ";
</SCRIPT>
<CENTER>
<FORM>
<input type="button" value="Enter Protected Area" onClick="passWord()">
</FORM>
</CENTER>
7. Where it says dog change that to the password of your choosing and where it says protectpage.html change that to the link of the first page you copied earlier. (Note the previous first page is now the second page of the website.
8. Upload your website and you are done.

I have Mac Mini OSX 10.6.2; Safari states "can't open server since url starting with 'open-help-anchor'. I didn't type this but possibly I was hijacked but it only occurs on the specific banking site I'm trying to get into. How do I get into the web site I've always been able to get but now this is blocking it? Is this related to cookies?

Can I set up a password protected webpage within my site? CS4

Can I set up a password protected webpage within my site? I'm using CS4 and would like to create an orphaned page for internal use only. Is there any way you can set up a password protect on one page within an otherwise public website?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

The simplest way to achieve this would be to enable password protection for a certain subdirectory by using .htaccess. As long as you / your provider is using apache as web server this can be setup within minutes, all you need is a ftp client (plenty of freeware ones out there),
and here's a tutorial on how to do it: http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml Google will list many more if you search for "htaccess password"
Or, send your provider an email, he might be willing to do it for you, maybe even for free, since it doesnt take more than 5 minutes to set up.

How i can protect my mac os and applications?

Hello,
Please answer me.
How i can protect my mac os and applications from "migraton assistant" copy?
Thanks a lot

Although I have never used Migration Assistant I think it only works by Logging into the other computer, whether Mac or PC, with some type of code or knowing a valid username and the password for that username.
In that case Password Protect all your user accounts on all computers and when walking away from a computer set it into sleep mode with the option to require a password when waking.
If you are working in an environment where thieves thrive then always lock your system with a Password.

Password protecting the MAC?

How do I password protect the Mac? I want to leave programs running in the background, but password protect it so no one can hop on my computer while I'm away.

I asked the same question here be4. Here is a solution:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050706194219822
This method adds a lock icon to the menu bar instead of using hot corners to trigger the screen saver. I found this way works best for a lazy man like me.:)

How do I put shortcuts to web sites in a (?) tool bar/browser bar...don't know what it is called. With IE, I can just drag the tab for the site to the area I want.

How do I put shortcuts to web sites in a (?) tool bar/browser bar...don't know what it is called. With IE, I can just drag the tab for the site to the area I want

Near the right-end of the address bar is a white star which can be difficult to see, but look closely. When you wish to bookmark a shortcut to the toolbar, double click the star. A window will open with the name of the webpage. Under that is the folder box which will probably read 'Unsorted Bookmarks'. Click the drop down arrow and change it to 'Bookmarks Toolbar' then click done.
I have several folders on my toolbar such as Music, Mail, etc. in which I add multiple websites. If you wish to add a folder, click the second drop down arrow next to 'Bookmark Toolbar' and click 'New Folder' and give it a name.
To add a bookmark to a folder, again double click the star, make sure you are in Bookmark Toolbar and click one of the two drop down arrows to find the name of the folder.
For other bookmarks use Bookmark Menu. Whatever is added here can be accessed by Bookmarks on the Menu Bar. If your Menu Bar with Bookmark, File, View, etc. is not visible, click the Alt key and they will become visible. To keep the Menu Bar, click View, Toolbars and check Menu Bar.

How to password protect a numbers document

I'm trying to figure out how to password protect a numbers document.
My intention is to load this document onto a website, but only want authorized persons with the correct password to be able to access.
Any ideas??
Thanks

I am using Numbers 08
And the Numbers User Guide, supplied with iWork '08, make no mention of password protection, which was introduced in Numbers '09.
Looks like the best option is Wayne's second suggestion—open via File > Print > PDF > Open in Preview, then Save the resulting PDF document with encryption turned on.
An alternate, if you want the recipients to receive a copy of the Numbers '08 file, and to be able to edit that file, you could enclose it in a secure disk image file.
The basic procedure is to:
Use Disk Utility to create a new, blank, sparse disk image, assign a password and save.
Double-click the .dmg file (and enter the password when requested) to mount the disk image on your desktop, then Save a copy of your file to the (open) disk image.
When done, eject the image, and upload the (encrypted) .dmg file to the website.
Detailed instructions may be found in Disk Utility's Help files.
Launch DU (found in the Utilities folder in Applications), click the Help menu and choose Disk Utility help.
Go to the index, scroll to and click Security, then click a title similar to "Protecting confidential documents in a secure disk image." (a search on 'confidential' should also take you to a list containing that title.)
My version of DU is old enough that sparse images hadn't been introduced, or I'd post a copy of the article here.

Barry
