Password Protect My iWeb Website

Hey I have a iWeb website it is not using the mobile me option for hosting I using ftp how can I password protect my whole site?

Try this :
[password-protect-a-directory-with-htaccess |http://www.addedbytes.com/articles/password-protect-a-directory-with-htaccess>
But I think that if this is possible, there might be an easier way with a cpanel like solution.
If all else fails, find another webhoster that offers the service.

  • 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.

  • Can I password protect my FTP website

    My site was built in iWeb 3.0.4, and originally hosted on MobileMe. Now it's hosted by a local service provider via FTP, so the "Make my published site private" option is not available to me any more.
    I'd actually like to build an Intranet for my company, which will include confidential info like locking up the building, passwords etc., so it's really important to limit access to employees only.
    Is there a way to do this?

    You can password protect a website directory - it's not completely uncrackable but will do for most purposes. The method is described here:
    http://css-tricks.com/easily-password-protect-a-website-or-subdirectory/
    This requires createing an .htaccess file and one other similar - the dot means they are hidden. Not all services will allow this. The page tells you what to put in the file; to create it, create the file in a plain text editor and call it htaccess. Upload it to the directory in question, then using your FTP program rename it to add the dot on the beginning, .htaccess - it will promptly disappear.

  • Open password protected PDF in website

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me. Greatly appreciate it.
    My website has PDF documents that's available for registered users to view online (through my site) only.
    Currently, I can't find any solutions to prevent users from downloading/"save-as" the PDF doc in their local drives, so I'm thinking of password-protecting these PDFs. This will ensure that they'd not be able to view the PDFs even though they download it and save-as local.
    However, how do I open these password-protected PDFs on my site?
    When I point/redirect to these PDFs, it will prompt for password.
    It'd defeat all protection intent if I were to give the password to the user to enter, right?
    Example:
    1. Response.Redirect("mySecuredPdf.pdf")
    2. The browser will then prompt user for password.
    What can I do in the CodeBehind to enable the server to OPEN the pdf, and at the same time, pass the correct password to the viewer to open without prompting?
    I cannot remove password, because I want to prevent users from downloading and then opening it later, or redistributing the file.
    btw, i'm using ASP.NET.
    Please help.

    There's a similar thread in the Acrobat Windows section, and the answer is the same - only a DRM system with a client UI (such as Adobe Digital Editions) can restrict the *use* of a file. You cannot prevent the client downloading and saving it, as otherwise they can't see it on their screen. The page you're reading now is not on a computer at Adobe - it's on yours.
    > What can I do in the CodeBehind to enable the server to OPEN the pdf, and at the same time, pass the correct password to the viewer to open without prompting?
    I think you're getting the flow a little backwards - the PDF is 'opened' by the client, using their copy of Adobe Reader (or whatever). The webserver has nothing to do with the process other than blindly sending the file's 1s and 0s down a wire, so can't do anything to directly control the client's desktop applications.

  • A simple way to password protect my personal website?

    I have an online photo album, and I don't necessarily want everyone to have access to my baby pics and me running around in my underwear when I was seven years old, so I want to password-protect the site. I have a good basic knowledge of building a site using DW-MX, but I admit that it's not very advanced. :>(( Does DW have a built-in ability to password-protect, or should I use something else?
    I don't code HTML myself, but I think I could follow a tutorial as long as it's not too technical. I'm a bit hesitant that I'm going to bungle things in trying to implement a password, so I want to make sure I do this right.
    Ideally I'd like to have a password field on my index/splash page, which one would need to pass in order to access any other sub-page. My host is GoDaddy, but I believe I've asked them about this possibility, and they just made suggestions for me - they didn't offer to do it themselves.

    Does your goDaddy host support php? if so put a form similar to the one below on your index page i.e., asking for a 'password' and 'username'
    <form action="password_protected.php" method="get">
    <p>Username<br />
    <input name="username" id="username" type="text" /></p>
    <p>Password<br />
    <input name="password" id="password" type="text" /></p>
    <label for="button"></label>
    <p><input type="submit" name="login" id="login" value="Login" />
    </form></p>
    Then create another page in DW and save it as password_protected.php. Open it in DW, go into code view and delete everything. Copy the below php code and paste it into the empty file and save it. Change the username and password from 'Pink', 'Elephant' to what you require and change the first url link from http://www.bbc.co.uk to that of the page you want protected and change http://www.itv.co.uk to that of the page you wish to send the user to if they do not supply the correct details.
    <?php
    $username = $_GET['username'];
    $password = $_GET['password'];
    if($username == "Pink" && $password == "Elephant") {
                header("Location: http://www.bbc.co.uk"); }
                else {
                    header("Location: http://www.itv.co.uk");
    ?>

  • Passwords: iphoto galleries & iweb website's

    We have a .mac account. We have published several "photo galleries" and made them private with
    the SAME user name and password. We have published a "website" making private with the SAME user name but, DIFFERENT PASSWORD.
    The problem is, that after publishing (updating) of one or the other,
    it only takes the user name and password of the last thing "published" for example: i modify and publish a gallery: if the user name for the galleries was JOE the password 1234/h, and with the website being JOE , 2234.k when I go to log into the WEBSITE, it takes the "GALLERY" password
    (even though I never changed the website password?????)
    Are iWeb and iPhoto publishing LINKED by your .mac account? I am really in hot water since
    I am working for a school and each time a parent tries to access it does not work, depending on what I published last....please help:
    thank you
    You should be able to make these user name and passwords different since they are different applications? iWeb vs iPhoto???

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You should be able to add edited photos from iPhoto to an iWeb page. How are you adding them and to what type of page?

  • I password protected my iweb site how do u  undo it so it's public

    How do you make ur iweb public after butting username and passcode to get in?

    Maybe that's the problem.  I used to have Acrobat Pro, but it's disappeared off my system.  Can I re-install the old one I had? Or has Adobe stopped supporting the purchased software option?

  • Password protected iWeb sites

    Hi.
    I want to know how to make websites password protected on iWeb. However, I do not have, nor want to invest in MobileMe, so is there any FREE service that does this. Thank you!

    To password protect a site, folder or page when using a server other than MobileMe you need to either enable this in your control panel or do it using a .htaccess file.
    The server side script is the most secure way to do it. There are javascripts that you can use but they are less secure.....
    http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/cutindex6.shtml
    Doing it via the control panel is easier but, if you want to go the htaccess route, you can generate it online here....

  • Link to other published web folder from within password protected iWeb site

    I realise that you cannot password protect an iWeb site if it contains a link to an external page / file. However, I have a complex genealogy site that I had previously published to another site. I directly copied this folder to the iWeb directory alongside the folder for the protected site published from iWeb. I have tried all sorts of link URLs on the protected site page, trying to link to the genealogy index.html file. iWeb refuses to allow password protection or even point correctly to the site.
    Does anyone know how to create a suitable link to a site folder created elsewhere?

    I have a password protected site with a page that has a link to an ordinary homepage.mac.com page, with no problems. Could you provide more details on what is not working for you? Maybe putting your geneology folder in iDisk/Sites and linking to that would help?

  • Password protection of my iWeb site

    I would like to password protect my iWeb site hosted on MobileMe - a single password for the site is fine so I think it is doable. However, I have had problems when publishing directly from iWeb so I use Cyberduck which seems to work well. Can I apply a password to my site when publishing thru Cyberduck? To be clear, I publish to a local directory and then drag and drop to MobileMe via Cyberduck. Can anyone offer advice to help with this?
    Thanks
    Duncan

    You need to publish direct from iWeb for password protection and a few other features to work.
    Also, its not necessary to use Cyberduck to upload from a local folder. All you need to do is upload by drag and drop to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites.

  • Password-protecting a hyperlink to a file?

    Is it possible to make a hyperlink to a file password-protected in iWeb 3.0.3? For example, I'd like to make a portfolio on my website downloadable only to select clients. Thanks.

    Since iWeb can’t password-protect individual pages, consider posting your portfolio on posterous.com and text or image hyperlink to it. There's also a way to link to an external site (such as Posterous) directly from iWeb's navigation bar.
    You can set a password on your Posterous site so only the readers you want can see it. They don't need to create an account to see your site, just enter the password you give them. Simple. More information about private sites can be found HERE.

  • Password protect and apple logo

    Hi everyone!
    I just publishd my website and I have 2 questions:
    1- How can I make some private area (password protect) on my website. Not th entire site, just a section?
    2- How can take the apple logo off the browser address bar?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iWeb and MobileMe will only password protect an entire site. You can put the page(s) you want to protect in a separate protected site and add a hyperlink to that site from your open site.
    2 - That's called a favicon. These sites may be of some help:

  • Password protect site for a group

    Is it possible to password protect an iWeb site for a group of people, so each user can create and select a unique username and password to enter the site? I am sure that I would need a 3rd party application to do this, but does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    i am figuring out how to do this "manually." i am creating a site for a sorority. i don't know how to explain it...on one page, there will be a listing of names (or id numbers, user names if you will). i think i will password that so that just to get to that list you have to enter one general password. then from there, you click on your id number to gain access. that will take them to a separate "site" that they will have to enter their specific password. their site will have a link to another page that all of the sites will be linked to. does that make sense? so they will have to manually enter in their own password to get to the common page. it's my theoretical idea, so we'll see how it pans out in practice over the course of the next little while! haha.

  • Is There a way I can make a free password protected website with iWeb?

I am a mac kind of person so is there a way I can make a free passcode protected website with iWeb? I knwo you use to be able to do it with MobileMe, but that's outdated now so could someone please help!

    No, you cannot password protect a website with iWeb.
    And no, you don't have to be a Mac kind of person either.
    So how do they do it?

  • How can I password protect imbedded folders within an iWeb-created website?

    I have read that iWeb will not allow you to password protect individual imbedded content (ex. individual albums or pictures), but, that you can only protect the whole site. I have also read on here that the password protection for the site isn't very good and is easily broken.
    Short of creating multiple pages (each password protected) and then linking all the private pages to a public page, is there any easier way to password protect individual items of content rather than the whole site, preferably in a way that can't be "broken" in terms of bypassing the password?
    Maybe I need to use a different application to create the website? If so, recommendations?

    What kind of content? If you use PDF files you can password protect them when you create them. The same goes for Word documents.
