Password protected iweb site hosted on godaddy

Hi,
I am using iweb 08, and i host with godaddy.
Is there any way of making the password function from iweb work with godaddy?
so far i can't get it to work.
Thanks
Dave

Dave:
That's one of the features of iWeb that are not supported by non Mac servers:
Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Blog RSS Subscription
◼ Hit counter
◼ Enhanced slideshows
There are methods using php I believe but, again, have no experience with them. One of these sites may be what you're looking for.

Flash files in iWeb site hosted by Godaddy?

Anybody know how to use .swf files in an iWeb site hosted on Godaddy?
I'm trying to see how to use a few .swf files (flash) in my site which I built and maintain with iWeb.
I had set them up back in the .mac days and they were able to work. When .mac ended, I switched the hosting to Dropbox which worked fine (though a little slow) but I guess I hadn't checked those .swf animations. When I was preparing to move the site to GoDaddy recently, the animations weren't working.
My site is now up and running on GoDaddy and I'd like to get those animations working. I've googled/searched for information, but all the info seems to be about using idisk or .mac. Since those no longer exist, I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it.

Upload the files in a folder to the root folder on the server using an FTP app. This page is about audio files but it's the same method for flash...

Then reference each file in an iframe code. See this page for more info...

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.....

Doing it via the control panel is easier but, if you want to go the htaccess route, you can generate it online here....

Password protected iWeb sites - problem with login

This is an FYI regarding a problem I recently encountered. Neither MobileMe, nor Apple tech support or specialists were able to resolve it, but I finally figured it out.
I created a company website for my client, including secondary websites that were password protected in order for her clients to download support materials for her classes. The passwords worked fine last night, but this morning we could not login with the setup passwords. Even when we changed them and tried to re-upload the entire site, we could not. I don't know specifically what changed, but we went through a plethora of solutions over many hours, but to no avail.
In the end, it appears that how we setup the domain was where the problem existed. We have our own domain through Netfirms, which we set up to use in MobileMe as per the instructions. In Netfirms however, when you log into version 8, it does not give you the option to change the CNAME, as MobileMe states needs to be done. Instead I had set up the domain to forward to our "web.me.com/company" site. This was the problem.
To correct this, I turned off the url forwarding and logged out of Netfirms. Then logged back in, but into version 6 of the control panel. From here I was able to setup the CNAME as web.me.com. And ta-da, once it updated on the server the entire site and all password protected areas are working as needed.
Phew.

With Safari, No search results in password protected iWeb site on MobileMe

Hi,
I'm publishing my iWeb site to my ME.COM account.
I have the site password protected as offered in iWeb.
But when the site is password protected and I'm accessing the site with Safari the search with the search field in the site does not produce any results.
Only the message:
"Your search did not produce any results."
If I use FireFox everything works fine and the search provides the expected results.
Looks like there is a bug in Safari.
Thanks and Regards,
JO

ok, is working, now.

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?

Windows XP User Can't Log in to Password Protected iWeb Site

Does anyone have advice for this problem? I have consistently been able to access my .Mac account from all PC browsers I can think of from my work computer (MSN, IE, Opera, Firefox). My mother-in-law uses a PC as well and she's had no trouble logging in. My wife uses a Dell at work and she's never had an issue.
An Aunt, however, cannot seem to get past the Username and Password identification screen when she tries to log in on a Windows XP system in Internet Explorer. Everytime she enters the correct User and Pass (and also in the right case, I checked), the pop-up just reloads. My understanding is that she has tried to do it multiple times in a row and still nothing.
Any takers? I am stumped. My best guess is something in the IE options for internet security is checked or unchecked. She is at a work that will not allow her to download and run other browsers, so it has to be IE.
If anyone knows the solution to this, I would be pretty grateful.
Thanks!

I have the same problem here with a friend, that cannot access to the site and it works on my Windows XP-PC with IE 7 and Firefox 2. Really strange.

Iweb site hosted on godaddy and using webcrusher to make site runfaster?

I have my website linked up with my Go Daddy account and I want to use a program like Webcrusher to reduce my file size to make my site run faster, but I don't know how to use Webcrusher when iWeb is linked with a Go Daddy Account.
Need like a step by step how to do it.
Also any ways to make my website run faster is helpful, I use a lot of pictures and mp3 files.
Thank You

Need like a step by step how to do it.
Webcrusher probably has a Help/FAQ/Support site or Manual.
http://www.ragesw.com/support/
You most likely have to publish your Site to a folder on your desktop, then open Webcrusher, which will then upload you files to the server.
mp3 files
I doubt Webcrusher can do make MP3 files smaller. Use an app that can do that for you.
I use a lot of pictures
Prepare your pictures in advance in an application for that purpose.

How to password protect a site that is NOT published to .mac?

Hi There,
I was wondering if anyone has got a workaround for this in iWeb. I would like to password protect a site but am not publishing it to .mac. Is there a piece of code you can stick into the HTML manually to do this?
Thanks!

I am answering my own question! A friend tipped me off — your hosting company may offer password protection. That was the case for me. I went into the site settings and was able to set up a password for the entire site or only certain directories. I hope this helps someone!

Saving PDF files in a password protected FTP site

Hi Experts,
I have an Adobe Form which I want to save in a Password protected FTP site.
I have written the following code in the submit button
TYPE = HTTP Submit
URL = ftp://username:password@host/
But once the submit is clicked, I can see ONLY the display of the files in this FTP Server.
My requirement is, I want this PDF file saved in the FTP server.
How do I achieve this??
Thanks
KR

If you are using the Adobe Reader plug-ins in Safari, then the only functional way to save the PDF locally (without damage) is to use the save functionality that Adobe (not Safari Save As…, Export, or Print > PDF) provides. These examples were captured on OS X 10.9.5. Safari 7.1.2. Adobe Reader 11.0.10.
Your first link will offer a roll over Adobe toolbar near the bottom-center of your displayed PDF document. Use the Save icon on the far left.
The second link produces the Adobe sub-toolbar with the Save icon.

How to password protect iWeb09 Site

I have my iWeb Site published by FTP to my domain, is it possible to password protect the whole site in the same way you can when using MobileMe?

This setting has nothing to do with managing domains.
Your hosting service must have provided you with some means of managing your files on the server. Usually this would be Web Shell which is now in version 4.4.3.
Open your files in Web Shell, select those you want and then click the "protect" button under settings.

Password protect iWeb page

Is there a way to require a password when visiting a page made with iWeb like there was with Homepage?

That's correct. Also, to clarify, you cannot password protect a page, you have to password protect the entire site. (There are ways around this)
But password protecting will not prevent those who visit from downloading your images. If that is your concern, try searching these discussions, or post a new question. What I remember of previous discussions about protecting images is that a)there are some ways to discourage this but b) there is not way to make it completely impossible to download images.

Password protecting test site

Hi I wanted to password protect a test site I have been making to show to selected people. I found this tutorial using PHP which seems pretty straightforward.
http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/password-protect.php
The one problem is it says It will show you protection code to include into your pages. "Sample protection code would look like this (yours will be different): <?php include("/home/users/htdocs/security/password_protect.php"); ?>
Add that line of code to each php page you would like to protect at the very beginning of the page source (it must be the first line)." Now the problem is that my page is html based, can I add a token PHP page to my index page that just has that bit of code in to password protect it and how would I add the PHP page?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Try the htaccess generator for dreamweaver extension - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1698154.
Check with your server provider to ascertain you type of server you are using as this requires Apache, but similar code is available for IIS.
The htaccess file is a simple file that you upload to your server and will 'point' to the folder you wish to protect.
