I need to password protect access to member only link using FrontPage 2003.
*.html is link name
When you click on hyperlink title I want a password dialogue box to appear.
Member will key in authorized user name and the password before fronypage
allows accessing.
You host may allow you trhough your control panel to protect
files/folders (Cpanel on Linux hosting usually has such a feature).
There's another utility to make this easy, too
www.locked-area.com is a php/cgi/perl script that is a membership
management script that you install on your server (if your host allows
third party scripts).
There is a sub-set of that particular script called Directory Pass:
http://www.directorypass.com/?la - one file, dirpass.cgi uploaded to
your cgi-bin, chmod as 755 and run it through your browser. it is a
simple and straight forward way to protect files/folders using the
htpasswd and htaccess ability of Linux/Unix servers.
Locked-Area is a more comprehensive utility for Member Management.

I am not affiliated with this, just an end user like anyone else, and
found it very useful.
