is there a way to create a secured section of a website in publisher 07?

I've got a few pages of my Publisher 2000 site protected with a User name
and Password and it should be much the same with Publisher 07.

In your website folder on your hard drive create a folder named, i.e.,
secure (or vault, or safe, or any name you like)

In this folder build a website (the pages you wanted protected). Don't mix
them with the original website files. Don't include any proprietary
information yet - that comes later.

Next create on your server, in the folder that stores your website files a
folder named secure (or the name you used in the previous steps).

Upload the newly created website files into the secure folder.

Edit your original website by adding a link to the home page of the secure
website. Upload the updated pages.

Test: Go to your website and test the link; you should be able to bring up
the "secure" website. If all ok, on to the next steps, creating the
protection.

This will involve editing or creating a cig-bin folder, creating a .htaccess
file and a .htpasswd file and of course a User name and Password.

Review items 21 and 22.

Note: Check with your ISP for their requirements.

'Hope this is of some help to you.

Most hosting services offer a means to password protect a folder on the
host. Don has done a excellent job of describing one method where the host
offers .htaccess file...I think this is if your host is a UNIX based service
vs. a Windows. Go to your host, log in, and scan the FAQ section or look
under Support for what your host offers.

David,

Just a FYI! I got this from my web host who is upgrading the server to
Apache 2:

However, in this version of Apache (2), there are significant changes to
the way mod_security is implemented. No longer is it controlled via
..htaccess files, but instead, it is setup in your domain\'s Vhost entry
inside of the apache configuration file.
